Publisher crashed after Windows 11 Update
Jeffjn replied to blackstone's topic in V1 Bugs found on Windows
FWIW, I had this issue, at least I assume it was the Net Framework issue, as my laptop had not installed that update and was fine, but my desktop had and would crash whenever I opened a large save file with what looked like a memeory leak. Instead of removing the Net Framework update, I noticed that the 22H2 feature update was pending. I let that install and the issue went away. -
Affinity Publisher unable to cope with large books.

I'm posting again on this thread, but this time with good news - it looks like this has been fixed in 10.4. I've managed to merge the three parts of the latest update of my book. It's using 10gB of menory, but that's not growing as I sit here. 720 pages and at least 300 illustrations.... I'm going to trad carefully, but it's looking good.- 22 replies

Having installed the 1.10 update with eager anticiption, bearing in mind it's claims to have done a great deal of work on Memory Management, I'm sad to report that this issue for me is still occuring. At this stage I'm trying to merge the section of the book so I can work with just one file, making indexing less painful as well as simplying the publishing process, but I'm seeing the same issues with silent crashes as soon as I approach the page/illustration counts that was causing me issues before. Is there anyone at Afinity who could take another look at this? I'm happy to work with them to provide examples and bug reports.- 22 replies

I'm just bumping this after all this time to see if anyone bites. I've since had to just use merged PDFs to create my next book.- 22 replies

ADDED - I've remembered one that is very easy to replicate. Load the large file I posted earlier, then save it with a different file name. Now close AP and restart it (to clear out any memory it is hanging on to). Open the first file. Wait for the CPU load to drop to be sure the task is completely finished. Leave the first document open open and open the copy you just created. After while open the task manager. It will be using about 15% CPU (in my case) or more on a slower machine. You can sit and watch that all day, the file never loads. If you want to close AP you have to use the task manager.- 22 replies

Thanks for the reply Pauls. When this does get fixed, will you post back here please? I don't think its the only issue with large files, but the most obvious one to demonstrate.- 22 replies

Thanks. I did google the subject, and downloaded one of the most likely looking (which didn't work with my files). Some of the google results offered a service (Upload your files and we will merge them, which is a good way to put something in the public domain). One site said that the least stress-free and safest way was to buy Acrobat, and as I was past my deadline I succumbed. However, if you have a recomendation I'd love to hear it, as I now have time to experiment and don't want to spend £180 a year! AP should be able to do this as one PDF, just like Page Plus, because I don't want to manually merge the indexes, which is the real pain.- 22 replies

Hopefully this is still being investigated - it's happening in the latest beta as well. Can I reproduce some more of the bugs I've seen, or should I wait for this one to be investigated first? Thanks- 22 replies

Ah, Progress! I'm assuming that's the intial receipe, not the second one. I didn't realise (until just now) that Onedrive also monitored the Desktop and Documents folders when I previously tried eliminating it from my tests. However, I've briefly tried the following: Moved all my data files to a new folder on my C drive that isn't monitored by Onedrive. Told Onedrive to stop monioring Documents, Pictures and the Desktop Stopped Onedrive from starting up when Windows starts Rebooted the computer Tried the receipe with the files from the new isolated folder. Sadly, the same crash straight to the desktop is still occuring. I have to go out now, but would there be anything else I don't know about using Onedrive that might be relevant? Does Publisher put files somewhere that might still be monitored?- 22 replies
