Hi there,
I'm currently in the process of getting Affinity rolled out in lieu of the Adobe suite in my architectural practice. So far it's been fairly seemless, and fairly well recieved. However I have one masterplanning report being made in Publisher that is practically unusable. The report itself isn't particularly large, about 25 A3 pages @ 72dpi with a mix of PDFs, JPEGS, Designer and Photo files, all of which are linked. There's nothing atypical to this report compared to any other report we'd conduct. However the following behavious occurs:
When saving the file, or opening the resource manager Publisher becomes unresponsive, while doing so it maxes out the available ram (I have 32gb, this should be plenty). Once the ram is maxed out it also starts to use the scratch disk, shown here at 40MB/s but I have had previous instances where it's at 350MB/s. It's worth noting, that if you leave the PC long enough (between 20-30 minutes) it will eventually achieve the command, but this isn't practical, nor does this behavious cease upon a successful completion. I tested it in the beta, and the beta would just crash trying to open the file.
This happens on multiple machines.
My specs are:
CPU: i7 9700K
RAM: 32GB DDR 4 RAM
HD: 2TB QVO SSD
GPU: RTX 2070
