Dear Developers, although I really love what you did with the new version this bug is still present in the latest versions for macOS * Affinity Photo 1.8.1 * Affinity Designer 1.8.1 * Affinity Publisher 1.8.1 (Designer/Photo Persona)

Thanks MEB and sorry for sounding a bit emotional

Affinity Photo crashes and all your data is lost if you use the gradient tool not 'properly'. Tested under macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (latest) , Affinity Photo 1.7.2 (latest) and 1.7.1: 1) make new document 2) add a pixel layer 3) select gradient tool 4) draw a line for the gradient 5) select the swatches tab 6) select a color and drag it to one end of the line of the gradient -> Affinity Photo crashes and all your work is lost Dear Affinity developers: Please fix this behaviour! I'm not interested in a workaround! (I know how to 'properly'/'without crashing' use the gradient tool.) Prevent Affinity Photo from crashing. Maybe do nothing or send an error-message if the user input can not be handled by the program but don't crash. If you are forward thinking make it possible to restore your work (at least some older version) if the program crashes. Maybe look at concepts like Final Cut Pro where saving documents ist handled by the program not the user. Modern software users don't want to handle that crap. You are a huge step in the right direction (compared to other Software) but please don't stop here and continue this great path ;-)
