[Designer crashes in Export Persona (Windows, Designer, 1.7.2.471)]

Hi Zeklandia,

Thanks for letting us know - there is a known issue after upgrading that is causing this crash. I've reproduced it and passed it on to development. In the meantime can you try launching the software with Ctrl held down. On the dialog that appears ensure only the first 3 boxes are ticked and then click 'Clear'. This should reset the studio back to default and allow you to access the Export Persona with the attached document without crashing.

I cleared those settings, and, while I can get to the Export Persona, it still crashes when I click on the Slices pane.

 

EDIT: I don't think resetting changed the situation. The different files all still crash at the same point (e.g., switching to Export Persona, activating Slices pane).

This is happening on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with Affinity Designer 1.7.2.471.

I have this one file that crashes Affinity Designer when switched to the Export Persona. I can manually export each Artboard fine in the Draw Persona.

It gets more complicated, though. I have this file link-embedded in several other files (Problem file > other files). Those other files can be switched to the Export Persona fine, but clicking on the Slices pane causes a crash. Exporting from the Draw Persona still works in those files.

But it gets weirder. I have one file in which I have link-embedded one of those other files with the problem file link-embedded (Problem file > other file > this one file). It does not cause crashes when switching to the Export Persona or using the Slices pane, and can successfully export all Slices as expected.

I have attached the problem file.

P.S. I know it isn't supposed to be possible to link embed files in Designer 1.7.2, but I needed it because I keep editing these files and link-embedding made replacing old versions much easier. When I needed to reload the link-embedded files, I would just open the file in Publisher and update it there.
