3.8.13 Affinity Photo JSON Import Fails

moonseed

Hello

Affinity Photo JSON export fails to load assets in beta version 3.8.13.
My test is with a single image. It loads fine in the previous stable release.

JSON is configured as follows:

{"skeleton":{"images":""},
"bones":[{"name":"root"}],
"slots":[
   {"name":"background","bone":"root","attachment":"background"}
],
"skins":{
   "default":{
      "background":{"background":{"x":1200,"y":600,"width":2400,"height":1200}}
   }
},
"animations":{"animation":{}}
}

Hi,

The JSON export functionality in Affinity uses an older version of the JSON format.
We unfortunately have no control of their export implementation, but in version 3.8.14 you can load the old JSON format again.

Great! Seems to be working well. How about being able to also export to the old JSON format?

Thanks!

Nate

We had to change the JSON and binary data formats because the old formats did not have the necessary information for new features. Because of that, we won't support exporting the old format. We've actually never before supported importing an old data format, but these changes are to how skins are stored and that affects data import

it proved too disruptive to have all users update their scripts and all tools like Affinity update to the new format.
