  1. @Callum I uploaded a screen recording following the instructions, and only finding .ips files. When I google ".crash .ips" I find a few articles to 'convert new .ips files to old .crash files' - I can only assume it means that Apple has made a transition of some sort. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
  2. Hey there @Callum, thanks for following up. 🙂 I am using an M1 mac mini, the crash is consistent on Metal, Open GL, Open GL (Basic) and Software. The same crash occurred with my trial on Windows, but that has expired so I can't test that again. Screen recording uploaded. I went through the process twice with the same document i provided you showing how it only crashes on certain pages - not all pages.
  3. @Callum I launched the offending document, initiated the process the causes the crash and sent the most recent crash report. the file extension is .ips not .crash like the tutorial suggested - hopefully that doesn't make a difference. I believe an issue lies within the document, the reason I think so is because i created a new document from scratch with all the same settings, pages, parameters etc to compare to the offending document. File size difference was 20kb / 400kb - which is a little weird since both documents had nothing in them. However, it could be unrelated. Hopefully this crash report does the trick. It's titled "Affinity Publisher-2022-02-18-082043.ips"
  4. @Callum I added another document called "Nuth1n CRASH TEST 3" This document literally has NOTHING in it. Affinity Publisher consistently crashes when activating the following pages: 2, 4, 5, 9, 21, 27 & 37 Weirdly enough, it doesn't seem to crash selecting pages: 1, 3 & 20. Note: I didn't try every page, these are just the few I had the patience to test to give you some definitive information you could try and use to troubleshoot. I thought a 'cleaner' document make this all easier.
  5. I managed to recover the other document I was working on (mentioned yesterday), luckily I have been working in dropbox so I restored to a version created earlier that day. I am so lucky that dropbox has that feature... hell yeah! This has happened far too often for me to feel comfortable completing this project in publisher, until I know it's been resolved. Fingers crossed because publisher is quite literally my favourite design app. I the original one from this post, it crashes when I try to make page 3 my active page.
  6. @Callum Please send me a link, it is happening again. I have a new document, and I've spent days working on it, and I cannot access it anymore, it crashes on launch. It was doing the same thing (crashing when I tried to select a particular page(s)) and I figured out that going into the Designer persona prevented this. I made some changes and saved. Now it is crashing on launch, and I assume it is because it is launching in the Publisher persona with that "page" as the active page. I now have to redo everything in Indesign for a meeting on Wednesday. I don't even have a PDF export to work off - I am so worried now.
  7. Send me the link, and I will see if I can set some time aside this week to upload the document.
  8. To my knowledge the resource manager does not have a delete button. If I am wrong, please just indicate how to do this it may be helpful in the future. That aside, even if we could delete this item from within the resource manager, this issue could put someone in an unfortunate situation if it were a text field for example which cannot be deleted this way.
  9. As the title describes, I have a document that crashes whenever I try to interact with a specific page. I initially noticed a stray element, which was technically "off-canvas" and quite large. I tried to navigate to the page to delete the offending element and the application crashed. This behaviour seems to be consistent on both macOS and Windows. Now I cannot do anything to the page: If I try and select an elements on the page - it crashes If I try an make the page the active page - it crashes If I try to delete it - it crashes If I try to delete the page before it - it crash If I use the resource manager to locate the element on the page - it crashes I tried to open the document up in Affinity Designer, but there is now way to change the active page (consider adding this feature to desktop). I used the iPad version which can cycle through pages and it also crashes when I get to the offending page. The only way to salvage my document was to select (in the pages panel) the page before it, it and the page after it - and delete all 3 pages at the same time. Obviously this is not ideal, because I had to redo work that was already done. I would like to provide the document to a moderator review, perhaps we can squash this bug.
  10. This is the only thing holding me back now. I have been working to get my whole studio to switch, and a sister studio we work closely with. I have pretty much made the switch with a few coworkers, but we end up having to recreate artwork in the Adobe Suite to provide open files. Pixelmator Pro seems to be able to export with editable text (Did a test just to confirm this), so it's not impossible and I can't think that there's a licensing issue if they can do it.
  11. Awesome, I am working on improving it. I love how it can be used to redefine the edges! It will take some work until it gets the level of Adobe's, trying to keep the file size and layer stack down and experiment more here and there.
  12. Hi there @spinhead My method isn't accurate at all, but it get's the job done and the overall look I like. Here's my layer stack. I learnt to do a lot of procedural work in blender which carried over to affinity photo quite nicely. Hope it helps reticulation.afphoto
  13. Awesome! As usual you guys are amazing! Thank you so much
  14. So I've added a document below. I did custom text with the path tool in AD. When I use the 'expand stroke' function the appearance changes. It becomes thinner, and it shouldn't. The appearance also changes when I do exports via the export persona. I am using Affinity Designer v1.8.4 expand stroke difference.afdesign
  15. Illustrator is not as intuitive as Affinity Designer, I used Adobe Illustrator just for these plugins (It's got nothing to do with whether or not I am willing to pay for it, at the end of the day I use AD more than illustrator, it is a better application for my use case.). I've actually almost completely stopped using illustrator, I open it about once or twice a month. Whereas AD is open everyday. If I had the power of the the astute functionality as well in AD, I'd just be happier with the tool, and completely switch over 100%
  16. Probably true, but I'm gonna be a total "suck-up" and just say that I actually use Affinity Designer because it's performance is pretty "through-the-roof" (it's really fast) and their tools are so much more intuitive. Most of Adobe's apps do not follow any sort of key mapping convention, so switching between the tools always means relearning, tool names change, workflows, functionality, etc I understand when you have a difference in video editing tools, and 3D tools, but I don't understand the graphic design & editing tools can't be standardised this way.
  17. I doubt it, they don't really have Adobe by the balls, and it's the best add-on suite for illustrator. (in fact it's the only reason I have illustrator installed side by side with the Affinity Suite) However, if Serif could achieve a lot of the same functionality right in their own suite that would always be better!
  18. Had the same thing happen to my, but mid document editing! I made a bunch of changes, tried to save before exporting - "access to file lost" and it closes my document now without saving. VERY MUCH ANNOYED. Could you make the program rather keep the document open (with the current memory state) to give us an opportunity to check the drive connection or save elsewhere?
  19. Similar issue, hoping to not have to reset my entire workspace every time something accidentally moves - as it becomes a bit cumbersome. I accidentally somehow separated the 'tools' menu, and it doesn't seem to have any way to clip or join it back to the main window. (screenshot attached) Moving it around doesn't seem to highlight region of the application frame, and I've tried releasing it randomly to no avail.
  20. +1 for this Save custom workspaces Sync settings between suite apps For example if I save presets and a studio layout in AF DESIGNER I would like to access these same things from Publisher. It's a little annoying to have to setup up every export preset twice. And rearrange all my panels every time a new version launches.
  21. I am sure just with the release of Publisher, 1.7 for the entire suite, that running a cost related release with any of the products just after I bunch of us bought publisher may raise eyebrows. This is an eco-system not a stand-alone app so they're probably have an upgrade fee when the make the big v2 jump and there will be a lot more than just PSD text edibility. And I'm sure many of us will repurchase the entire suite every few years without blinking twice, given how reliable and open they are about support. I feel like they know what they're doing. Although you sparked an interesting thought, modular feature expansions might be really cool. On one-hand you can finance specific feature development, which actually sounds fantastic, but if this ever came to the detriment of the users and the suite performance, functionality and growth it could have a slippery side. For example, I use Blender quite a lot, and the add-on market is actually quite amazing, and I'm sure a lot of people would like It if most software had the same approach. At the same time I would throw a fit if I felt like every feature is another micro-transaction.
  22. I'll run through it a few times and see what kinds of results I can get, thanks for the advice.
  23. Hey @John Rostron, @Fixx pretty much nailed the technical description. I use it on my concept art to blend edges for certain artwork, here is a sample I used it on. It's mixed in with a few other things I use to create this style of mine, subtly used but still important for me. Wish I had more samples but NDA means waiting for the projects I worked on to actually release (and some projects have schedules that span years of course) So I still swap to Photoshop occasionally to use it. I've been really eager to make a hard swap, and I've gone as far as recreating custom brushes and learning the new workflow (which I love btw, it's way more adaptable) - but I'll still swap back every now and then for 1 or 2 tools. It is a very niche tool, so I understand it might not be a priority, but you never know unless you ask.
