I won't update until this gets addressed. It appeared for a fleeting moment that I was going to receive support here but alas...apparently not.

Here you go. ddfab734-b0ec-405e-97e2-85e67d1cf93c.dmp

Has anyone else had stability issues with the latest Affinity update? Publisher performed rock solid prior to the 1.7.3.481 disasterous update and now the program is useless to me. It ALWAYS crashes right when I'm adding text to a page and I have had to restart the program 4 consecutive times until I just quit and went stratight to this forum. I think I will delete this program and try and re-install the prior 1.7.1 version that never flinched. This is why I'm always so hesitant about updating programs when I have no issues prior to the notification. Running Windows10 and as I stated before, no issues prior to the update. td crash_edit.mp4

Well I decided to purchase it. I really like this program. There are a few areas where I would love to see some improvements. The way it handles text is "ok" but there are some oddities that should be worked out in future versions. It's not always logical in how it handles spacing etc. Color editing/management is also off putting at times. This is not the spot to post the issues but rather just wanted to mention the fact that there are some areas that could use some improvement. One thing I can honestly say is that I have NOT really had to look at a manual for most of the functions and that is amazing in and of itself! This a very well designed program and extremely robust. I'm very happy I made the switch to this program and will not look back. td

Oh man,..great. Just great. So I used the sample as my starting template. Then reworked it with my edits and artwork. Figured I could save it as a new file name. But it would not even let me do that! Lesson learned I guess. I need to cool off a bit though. I'm on the fence about buying it. I DO thank you for your kind and quick reply. Thanks man. td

Its most unfortunate that the ability to save a file in the Trial program in the native Affinity format is NOT available. I mean, what is the fear here? Is Serif afraid that someone will be able to actually use a native Affinity file after the trial is over and get pages of work for free? If the trial expires then so does the usefulness of the file in that native format. As it is, I spent about 2 hours playing with the program to see if it would work for me and after seeing that I liked it it would have been pretty nice after buying the program if my work would at least have been saved so that I could continue where I left off. Guess now I will have to start over again. BIG bummer! I understand restricting the export function as you did but why the "save as" function? Silly, in my opinion. I have now taken pause before buying the program after this. I still may buy it (because I liked it) after a few weeks and I have cooled off but it really left an unpleasant taste in my mouth today. td

Would someone be so kind as to post the actual link to the update so that I can download it? Thanks a bunch! Didn't see it here and I didn't see it on the site...only an option to buy it...
