Topic: problem with Nik Collection 6 in Affinity 3

It was simple to add my Nik Collection 6 filters to AF3, I copied the relevant folder from my AFP2 plugins folder to the plugins folder of AF3.  However, even though the filters are listed in AF3 and can be invoked the 'Apply' button is missing.

However, if I invoke one of ye olde worlde Nik Collection 1 filters the 'Apply' button is there.

If this discrepant behaviour points to the problem being within the Nik 6 code then I can't see DxO ever fixing the problem, since the latest version of Nik is Nik 8.

Other people on the DxO forum are also reporting this behaviour:

DXO have just updated Nik Collection 6 (there's an update option when you launch it) and on my setup (AS 3.0.2, macOS 15.7.2 Intel) the Apply button is now available and works.

Thanks for joining us here, Hugh, and thanks for the ‘heads up’ about the update to Nik Collection 6.

DxO also updated Nik 7 and 8.

I was amazed that they actually patched the old versions.  DxO are not known for being sympathetic to addressing problems in old versions.
