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.
