Gabe,
No, I cannot attach a screen recording of this bug in action because it would then freeze up my pc, as it has done twice, and the recovery takes almost an hour, but that hour is filled with much frustration. The problem occurred when I was trying to load 35 JPEG files from a folder in my Pictures directory. There was a line of text at the very top of the screen, just to the left of the “- (box) x” icons at the far right. The line said something like “loading 35 JPEG...”. I have Affinity Photo version 1.7.3.481. When this happens I could not escape or exit Affinity Photo. The “x” at the top right of the Affinity Photo screen was inoperative. Also “Conrol-Alt-Delete” was inoperative. My machine was totally locked up and the only way to regain control was to unplug it from the power. Even then, the system files had been corrupted and clicking my mouse on any of the Desktop Icons was useless. I finally used WiseRegCleaner to obtain some semblance of control. Then I used Glary Utilities to rebuild the System Files.
The experience was bad enough that I do not want to continue using the new version of Affinity Photo, but would rather go back to my original version. However, I saw that Railroader124 had the same problem and tried to fall back to the previous version of Affinity Photo, but that did not solve the problem; the older version now locked up also. Can you recommend a method to scrub version 1.7.3.481 off of my pc so that I can reload the previous version?
I appreciate your time and efforts to help me resolve this problem, and I am also curious if any user other than Railroad124 has encountered this problem. If so, how was it resolved?
Thank you, John
