    Just had this happen again.

    Opened file and started to scroll up pages BEFORE the pages thumbnails had populated - immediate crash out of program.

    Reloaded OK and waited for all thumbnails to update - scrolling then worked OK with no crash...

    I have a multipage document with a large number of files. I tried to give a timeout, but it did not help. Perhaps not all pages are loaded.

    I agree.
    It often seems to crash if you scroll too quickly through a document - not exactly sure how fast "too quick" is though.
    Have had this happen a few times.
    This is using 1.7.2.422 but it's not something I can reproduce on demand. 

    There is a feeling that this is somehow related to the speed of downloading images from folders. But it is not exactly :)

  3. When scaling and scrolling, the program crashes.
    Images in the document are embedded links. Collapse usually occurs during the drawing of images. Project files are located on an external HDD (USB 3.0) fairly fast.
    The error occurs every few minutes and sometimes more.
    The program crashes both in the betta version and in the stable version.
    I apologize for the length of the gif, not knowing how to cut it. The collapse of the program
    at the end.

    On gif, the program first hung up for a long time and then crashed. Usually the program crashes very quickly.

    I am asking you to copy the license.xml  file (containing your email and product key) from "C:\Users\All Users\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\" to be next to the Publisher EXE in the folder on your USB copy. Have you tried that then using the application on a clean machine? The StudioLink will/should work after you have run each of the others once. To repeat this is unsupported and even if it does work today we will not promise it keeps working going forward.

    Thank!
    I understand that this is not supported, but I am very glad that it works.
    I tried today. Studio link does not work even after running all applications. Udalos run APub! This is a great deal.

    Even if you copy the license.xml file from application data (?) on your computer to the program folder on the USB?

    I'll check the details tomorrow 

    After the release, the studio link file license.xml disappeared from the program folder. I can assume that for the implementation of the studio link there is some other file in which all license data is stored, and it is located outside the installation folder. And this is a problem. Leaving the license file on someone else's computer is very bad. If it were possible at the end of the session to deactivate the license file (to extract the license file from the computer in the program interface). Or at the start it was possible to start on the guest computer (with the input of the email and password, but the file would not be kept on the computer or the lifetime of the license file would be equal to one session). These are my fantasies about how it might look like to protect the license file from being used by third parties, but the opportunity for the license holder to work in the program.

    My Expectation: Affinity Publisher StudioLink will work on any computer after you have plugged the USB in and run Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer from the USB once each. I think that on Windows the software already looks for license.xml in the program folder because that is how the network case work.

    Nothing is written to the registry by Affinity applications other than the install itself knowing where the files are. IF you copy the installed files from a hard drive to a USB it should just work on a different computer. This is not supported so we won't fix it if this doesn't work, but I expect/hope it will 

    If I run the program from a flash drive on another computer, then I have a dialog box asking me to enter my email and license key.

    As far as I’m aware, Serif have never offered portable versions of their software products for Windows. Installation has always involved writing to the registry.

    For example, in many regions of Russia, the salary of $ 158 is considered nominal, while the rent is $ 45-80.
    Not everyone can afford to have a laptop. Buying software is a big waste, and buying a laptop to meet with customers ... I think it is clear without comment.
    Bringing a customer home is not a good option. And to meet in an Internet cafe and show the layout to the client and, if necessary, make changes to it - this is a very necessary opportunity. There is a demand for this in countries with low incomes. I am not a marketer and do not work in Serif, but the idea is to occupy an empty place in the market where there is a demand, to go to meet customers and become the first ... it looks attractive.

    The license file was not installed in the registry. He was in the folder with the program.

    But such use does not guarantee correct operation. I understand it.

    The single-user licence only permits you to install the software on a computer which you own or control. If you don’t have administrator rights, then you clearly do not control the computer and you are therefore not licensed to install your Affinity apps on it. 

    The fact of the matter is that I am talking about the possibility of not installing software on someone else's computer. My computer is my portable hard disk with the portable software I need to work. I am the only user. And it is important for me not to break this rule.

    When you install an Affinity app on Windows, the licence information is written into the registry. Uninstalling the software should result in that information being removed along with the rest of the program data. 

    As far as I understand, it is possible not to affect the registry. And this is real in AP b AD. And this protects the license from being used by someone else. You do not need to have administrator rights, which is also important. Not everywhere is it possible to work with administrator rights and install software.

  11. I understand that portable mode is not officially supported. But it really works. And this is really cool!
    If it were possible to have an official Portable version ... a tool that is always with you.
    I understand that the portable version makes life easier for pirates. But
    1. But those who pirate, they will not buy.
    2. Those who buy will not use piratx software.
    3. Any defense is ultimately vulnerable.
    4. Thanks to software pirates, it became popular, and when the need arises to buy software, choose the one that is most popular. And the software for which it is easier to find frames. I think this is one of the reasons why Ad // # $ e is not interested in strong protection.

  12. I want to ask a question.
    I'm rarely at home, and I start the Affinity products from an external hard drive. This is allowed to have programs always with you. And excludes the possibility of using programs by third parties. I understand that Affinity does not guarantee the stable operation of programs with this usage, but the fact that it is possible to have the tool with you always, for me is an omnivorous plus, especially against Ad№;5:e.

    AP and AD allow you to work with a license file with a folder in the program.
      Is it possible for APub to save the license file in the program folder? I guess that when using Portable it will not be possible to use the studio link ...
      And one more question. How to delete a license file after I work on another computer? In a ... be can just get out of the account.
    It is very necessary to have the software always with you while remaining the only user. Tell me how to solve the problem?
