  1. Thanks, heaps, @Hangman! First, thanks for the .zip file, as I was able to open the background file in there and so I can use that for further tweaks as neccessary. Next, let me say that since before raising this issue, I had moved the file to a local drive in the hope that that would resolve the problem. I also, since then, tried the file I had uploaded, but also to no avail. Now, to the interesting stuff: Your re-saved file still crashes my AD The .zip file lets me open the background without any problems The .zip file also contains `2025-appendix-jersey-resaved-linked.afdesign` and with THAT file, I can open the linked embedded background files without an issue and I notice that saving it saves the linked file. When I try to re-save the `…embedded.afdesign` document, the "Save document" progress goes to pretty much 99% and gets stuck. MacOS doesn't indicate the app to be hung, but for all practical sense I'm now on this screen for 5 minutes with nothing happening… When I change the `…embedded.afdesign` document to "Prefer Linked", the save dialogue hangs within the first 5%, much like in #4. MacOS doesn't indicate the app to be hung, but for all practical sense I'm now on this screen for 5 minutes with nothing happening… It really seems to be a matter of the embedded vs. linked document. I've also attached the Console and the Crash Reports for one of the recent crashes. Hope this helps with the troubleshooting? Any otehr info I can provide? Thanks, Wolf PS: I will be switching to "Linked Files" and local files to be replicated onto the cloud going forward, hoping that that will steer me clear from most trouble. crashreport.txt
  2. Hi again, @Hangman, Here a screen recording of what happens when I open the embedded file. Sadly, it doesn't show the Spinning Beachball of Death, even a screenshot doesn't record that The SBOD shows up about a second after double-clicking the embedded file. If you are actually able to open the embedded file, could you? Extract and send me the embedded file as an AD document? Then I can try to salvage things differently and just avoid embedding other files. Save the file I've provided again from your side and send that for me to try if there's anything wrong with the format? I have encountered this problem on my AD before with embedded files and thus actually re-created the whole template. This only started to be a problem with this file after I had saved and re-opened it. As long as I kept AD running, it was fine. I also wonder if it has something to do with the file sitting on an iCloud drive. I'm otherwise super happy with AD, but designing these jerseys is my main use for AD and this makes it all rather frustrating. Thanks a lot, Wolf Screen Recording 2024-08-19 at 14.08.59.mov
  3. Hi @Hangman, Sorry, yes, should have shared that this is Affinity Designer 2.5.3 on macOS 14.5. The app hangs the moment I try to edit the embedded document masked in the background like this (about a second after clicking the embedded file, I get a SBOD): Part of the problem is that because of the file being embedded, I also do not know how I can get access to that file by itself, extract it and just edit it separately. Thanks, Wolf
  4. Hi, This has been really frustrating as this file I created with AD2 keeps crashing to the point, where I cannot do anything. It seems to have to do with the embedded file. Still, this is very frustrating as I cannot complete my work. Thanks, Wolf 2025-appendix-jersey.zip
