Ah! Sorted! I needed to reboot both the scanner and the Mac and now it works. Thanks! MST

Either this is no longer working or I'm misunderstanding. When I do this, it puts the scanned file into the Package which is Affinity Photo 2. It does what you say when I scan it to Preview or Photos or other system apps. Could this be because Affinity Photo 2 has me as the owner, not 'system'? MST

It depends on your definition of 'soon'. Affinity have been aware of this bug for nigh on four years now, so don't hold your breath.

I'd just like better documentation. I had no idea what a 'Signature' was in this context until I had to research it. I have a document comprising five A5 pages, and I want to print the first four pages on a single sheet of A4 – pages 4 and 1 on one side, and pages 2 and 3 on the other. Surely not a ridiculous request? Yet selecting the 'Booklet' option prints all the pages, with half of each sheet blank in a way I can't understand. Fortunately for me the 'Book' option does what I need, but still – some kind of explanation in the documentation would be helpful, no?

Seems sorted now, as you've said. Many thanks. Martin

I didn't say that reducing the max memory had resolved the issue, only that it had improved it. I'm still coming to my Mac first thing in the morning and finding that all the Affinity programs have crashed in the background. Martin

I tried setting the RAM Usage Limit to 16384 MB, and things were much improved. I've gone over a week without any Affinity programs crashing. This morning, though, I turned on my computer to the familiar report of Publisher having crashed, but in addition there was a system message to say that I'd run out of application memory (screenshot attached). I'm not using anything that chews up ridiculous amounts of memory, and there's 64 GB on the machine, so I'm starting to suspect a memory leak somewhere. Martin

The Performance Pane looks like this. Is there any more I need to do? Martin

Turned off Metal, but both Publisher and Designer had crashed when I came to my computer this morning. Martin

As promised, I'm reporting that Affinity Publisher crashed again today. I wasn't even there! I left the machine to go to sleep on its own, and when I woke it up this evening there was the crash report. I've now turned off Metal, as MikeTO recommended and we'll see what happens. If it still crashes I'll try downgrading to 2.4.0 Martin

I do have Metal on, so perhaps that's the problem. I doubt that it's our settings of Affinity, as these crashes affect all the Affinity programs - Photo, Designer and Publisher. I also wondered if some background programs I run could be causing the problem, so I've disabled them. If this makes no difference I'll turn off Metal and see how that goes. I'll report back, in either case. Martin

(Following the reply from Dan C, I'm starting a new thread, as requested.) As per the title, all three Affinity products (Photo, Designer and Publisher) crash at random times, usually when I'm not using them, and often when these apps have no windows open. I would say on average I get about one crash a day. As Dan C recommended, I reset Affinity back to default settings, but the problems are persisting. Latest crash report attached.

Thanks. I've done what you suggest, and we'll see what happens. Martin

My vote for restoring separated mode, too. Please can we have it back? MST
