I have been trying to get astro stacking to work. The crash happens at different steps in the process. I have not been able to identify a consistent crash sequence. So, here are steps that I've done that have led to a crash (multiple examples). Specs: windows 10 version 1.9.2.1035. Also, when I say crash, I mean the app literally crashes and is no longer running. When I open affinity photo again, there is no partially saved document (if that's a feature for the astro stack, which I am not sure of) to restore.
First 4 crashes:
New astro stack
Add Files for Lights. I selected 15 .arw (sony raw) image files. (These opened and appeared fine, except they were shot vertically and were displayed horizontally--in case that matters).
Add Files for Dark: I select 1 dark file, upon confirming my file selection the app crashed.
Next Few Crashes:
3. I was able to complete the selecting of a Dark file.
4. I press Stack and almost immediately crashes--I do not believe a progress bar had time to pop up.
Next crash:
New astro stack
Add Files for Lights. I selected 5 .arw files.
I selected the Dark file
I press stack (it works this time)
I press apply.
I'm taken to the photo persona with 1 image pixel layer and 2 adjustment layers. I toggle the adjustment layers to see how they affect the image. AND IT CRASHES.
I REBOOT MY MACHINE.
Next Crash:
New astro stack
Add Files for Lights. I selected 5 .arw files.
I selected the Dark file and it crashes
Next 2 crashes:
New astro stack
Add Files for Lights. I selected 2 .arw files.
I try to click on each image to ensure it's loaded. When I click on the second image IT CRASHES.
So, I have not been able to successfully use this feature, which I was looking forward to. It seems many suffer this same problem. I am posting in hopes my "crash reports" can help.
