SPaceBar

I've downloaded and opened the file but it's blank.

HI @Marius G Welcome to the Affinity forums. Sorry to hear you are experiencing crashing. Could you upload your document here please?

Are you able to give me some more information on how to reproduce the issue? Do you get a crash log when it crashes that you could share with us?

Thanks for the update @evtonic3

Hi @joshuabbutler Sorry to hear you've been experiencing corrupt files. Could you upload your corrupt document here please so I can take a look? Could you also explain a bit about your workflow so I can try and recreate the issue myself?

Hi @Burkhard Lieverkus You can upload your docx file and your Publisher document here if you don't want to post it publicly.

Hi @edoardo.posa Does that mean the issue is still there and you had to work around it?

@Dada Shiilabhadrananda As you have had issues with launching two different apps it could be something mentioned on this list: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlp2579/mac

Hi @sfriedberg Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Are you still experiencing issues in the latest Release build 1.9.2.1035? Have you had time to upgrade now?

Hi @expressoaddict Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest release build - 1.9.3?

Hi @evtonic3 Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Are you still experiencing issues in the latest Release build 1.9.3?

Thanks @Old Bruce I can see this now when I compare the two PDF's. I've managed to recreate one from scratch now too. I will look into it a bit more and then log it.

Hi @U. Dinser Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Is this an issue for you in the latest Release Build - 1.9.2.1035?

Hi @Paradise33 Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Is this still an issue for you in the latest Windows Customer Beta?

Hi @SirWillibald Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Is this still an issue for your with the latest Release build - 1.9.2.1035?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you @brunoczech I can't reproduce the issue on this document.

@Dada Shiilabhadrananda How did you solve the Calibre app issue in the end?

Thanks for the info @k_au. There is a known issue with Boolean operations creating excessive nodes on Designer and it's made worse by expanding the stroke. I've just had a go in Publisher and managed to use Add to join two square images and that worked fine but 2 hand-drawn triangles ended up with 5 nodes at each join. I will update the issue to include the additional information you're supplied. Unfortunately the work around will be to manually edit them where possible which isn't going to be easy with complicated shapes.

Hi @k_au I've taken a look at your .afpub document and all of the issues are caused by 2 overlapping nodes like the topmost node. I moved them apart and now the PDF looks as it should. Can I ask what your workflow was to get these double-nodes please so I can try and reproduce it?

Hi @Dada Shiilabhadrananda Sorry to hear you have been unable to launch your new software. Is it only hanging Affinity Publisher or are you experiencing this with any other apps? Also did you purchase the app from the Mac App Store or the Affinity Store?

Thanks @StrawHousePig that was very helpful, I have recreated this issue. The issue was already logged and so I added your info to it and passed it on to the development team.

Hi @foroil Welcome to the Affinity forums! I've split the post as the other thread was about waking from sleep. Are you no longer able to boot Publisher at all now? Would you be able to upload a crash log here please?

@h_d Thanks for pointing this out. I will get that logged.

Hi @StrawHousePig Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. I have not been able to reproduce this using the latest Retail version of Publisher - 1.9.3 using Big Sur. Are you still able to reproduce this? If so are you using the latest Retail version and what macOS are you using?

I don't think it is being classed as the same @thomaso as all of the other design aids are set by you. Hopefully the logged issue will shed some light on whether it is needed in Preview Mode.
