When I have a lot of slices like 20, and while scrolling down the options slices, the whole app freezes and just goes no responding. This problem has been there for a while and it's very annoying. I attached the image and my work file. Card Design.afdesign

When I drag the "Symbol" layer and occasionally set it as a mask, Designer crash immediately. After restart document doesn't recover.

Hallo, On batch processing that includes denoise Affinity Photo crashes fro me. Mac OS X. Batch processing works, but when I include denoise it consistently crashes. I tried with and without Metal. I tried different input and output formats. I tried with and without parallel processing. I tried single and multiple files. Keeps crashing on denoise...

EDIT: I have continued to investigate the exact moment of freeze/crash and come to the conclusion this has to do with the Text Wrap tool, and the copy/paste I initially reported. I'll edit the initial text in here to reflect this. Hi, I'm a new but overall very happy user that has run into a problem or bug. I have a document in a regular 6 x 9" format of 85 pages, containing text flowing through text frames, using text styles and two master pages. The document is about 4,5 mb large, so it isn't that big of a thing. When I have a grouped object (a table with two aligned picture frames containing a .png) placed on top of the text frame, and open Text Wrap and select Jump or Square or Tight and then press Close, it freezes and crashes. The only way to get out is to force quit the application. Initial title was. "Copy/Pasting image frames freezes/crashes Publisher" When I copy and paste graphic elements (medium res .png images in frames) to be used as table header decorations, Publisher freezes and crashes, either by itself, or by forcing it to. This happens multiple times after one another. I have tried to restart the Mac, closer other applications and so on. It is a MacBook Pro, 2018 model, 16 GB RAM and fully updated etc. Hope to get some help! Cheers! /Chris

Moving Curve onto the image layer is a 100% repeatable crash. I've tried different files and different documents with the same result. PubCrash.mp4

Sto utilizzando la versione 1.7.1, è uno schifo, appena scaricato spendendo 22 euro, prima cosa che mi succede appena entrò é un bel crash, non contento riapro l’applicazione iniziò a modificare una foto e tra mille rallentamenti e blocchi (assurdi su un app da 22 euro e un iPad Pro di ultima generazione) mi esce dalla foto tornando al menu senza salvare da solo. Se questi problemi non verranno risolti velocemente chiederò il rimborso perché così sembra una presa in giro. segnalo anche la mancanza di 2 cose fondamentali: -Poter gestire tonalità, luminanza e saturazione di ogni singolo colore; -mancanza di una correzione automatica dell’obiettivo. Parliamo di una applicazione che costa 22 euro non una free ci sono mancanze-problemi troppo grossi. Ricordo che dovrebbe essere una applicazione per professionisti, che professionista però si fiderebbe di una applicazione così!?Alla comparsa di un bug il giorno dopo dovrebbe essere risolto, Ho visto che un mese fa era stato promesso un aggiornamento correttivo mai arrivato, totalmente insoddisfatto.

I built a table in another publisher document. I needed to pull that table from the old document (created on artboards) to a new one (created as spreads). The new document crashed after 300 seconds (during the autosave) and I chose to open the recovery, which had no edits done up to the attempted autosave. I re-embedded the table, adjusted the size of the table to fit into my smaller spread, and everything works fine until the program tries to autosave or until I attempt to save manually. I've tried: 1) Save As to rename the document 2) Deleting the table and everything associated with the table (paragraph and character styles, table formats, the table itself, content within the table's cells) 3) Deleting non-system fonts that have nothing to do with the project 4) Converting the table to curves 5) Opening the publisher file in Designer Persona Only 6) Splitting the table into sections 7) Clearing all contents and style of the table to default table settings 8) Restarting the computer 9) Saving the document to the desktop or another location My computer is a 30k workstation with plenty of ram, cpu and graphics processing. I'm exporting a crash report It seems I can no longer modify this file unless I manually copy all the content over to a clean document with the exception of the table itself and the spreads span over about 90 pages. 2fb92aa6-3692-4eee-8516-5cd1d8a016a2.dmp

Hello, Tonight the app has crashed twice while I was increasing my brush width using the ']' shortcut. The file is quite big so that may be a reason but please see attached both crash reports. crash-brush-1.rtf crash-brush-2.rtf

When I attempt to make any changes to the art in progress, as a example changing vector layer name, this will cause the app to freeze and crash. After working for a few hours the app was freezing and would crash and loose the work I had completed. This happened multiple times. I have the newest version for apple on the newest iPad Pro, and installed new version 1.7.0.9 when issue started. When I opened the app, changed vector name, and pressed back button, it crashs. I then tried to end the task and try again, same issue. Turned off the iPad and tried again, same issue. I am honestly annoyed because the app won't save any work I do and crashes after so much is done or I press the back arrow to hone screen. Is there any ideas on how to fix this??

Pulisher for windows version 1.7.1.404 crashed 2nd time within 10 minutes while doing text formation. Please help with bugfix or whatever.. Are there action known you should not do in order to prevent a crash?

I've been using Photo for digital painting on my PC lately (Win 10), and twice in as many weeks (and only since the latest update to 1.7) the program has crashed completely - just straight up dropped away (not frozen up), and when I open it again it offers no backup or history file - the only apparent option is to reopen the recent file, which of course has nothing I've done since last manual save. When digital painting (at least for me) there are few pauses in process - as there are in photo processing - which are natural places to manually save, so time slips away and when it crashes I've lost a considerable amount of progress. Which is frustrating. Particularly since these problems weren't encountered in previous versions of the software. Just making the team aware.

Okay, I have posts in 1.7.1 forum, 1.7.2.420 forum, and now 1.7.2.422. Crash reports and video drops can be provided, but for now I'll just say all three versions crash. One of our more advanced partners, Pauls, pointed me in the direction of fonts and I appreciate that advice greatly. In truth, my fonts were extremely cluttered and showing duplicates. Last night, I did a complete font restore, removing all but the Mojave system fonts, plus added in two fonts intended for work, Palatino and Weiss-Bold. Cleared out font caches and databases to ensure all was running smoothly. While I was at it, booted into recovery mode and ran disk utility. In other words, without testing Publisher for failure, I paid attention to my own system. When I saw on the forums that a .422 beta build was available, I downloaded and tried that (uninstalled .420 beta build, kept official release). Sorry to say that .422 beta build crashed on me in the manner of my other crashes. Yes, my intuition and educated guess tells me the culprit may be something on my system that is causing the crashes. Not sure how as I've streamlined, fixed, repaired, cajoled and willed my iMac into submissive and appropriate behavior. For now, I am unaware of anything else I could possibly do to alter my machine. Understand that fixing the bugs that a lot of other folks are having is paramount in the scheme of things. Many can be fixed by mere explanation, minor bug fixes, deft workarounds. Have a feeling my remedy, although it could turn out to be something relatively minor, may take additional time. Hoping the developers are able to devote some time to my issue once things calm down. In the interim, I'm open to any and all suggestions. UPDATE: Attaching document and a crash report on the .422 beta build. Document was blank slate, plus had reset the program prior to doc creation. Actions at the time of crash: edited body para style; changed font, font size, tracking, kerning, spacing. Clicked okay and about 7-10 seconds later, whoosh. On this same document, tried to insert page number fields. # sign went away, now have blank text box. Cleared, then reapplied master A. No changes. If crashes were built in, program runs great. Wish I could provide more details, but... Affinity Publisher Beta_2019-07-12-165703_iMacUp.crash Bios and Farewells.afpub

Hi, I am a new user of Affinity softwares. I am trying to follow this tutorial on Youtube to make a pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSt4qrXWPFg At or around 2:24, following the instructions as in the video, the software crashes - especially when I am doing the Alt + drag action. This has happened several times now and I have to restart the whole thing all the time. I read in some other thread that it might be because of a bug in the 'symbols' function? Would be great if there is a solution or work around this? Many thanks.

Hitting the text styles tab causes the program to crash. Every. Time. It is making Publisher almost unusable. Please fix soon. I have Publisher 1.7.1 running mac osx high sierra 10.13.6.

Sorry to report, but I, too, am having crashes occurring with Affinity Publisher 1.7.1. Love the program, going through tutorials and preparing my Publisher palette for future work. As another user experiencing these crashes noted, working in Text Styles appears to be the culprit. Selecting the tab in Text Styles panel, selecting OK when creating a new Text Style or even random crashes. The crash happens quickly so sometimes I'm not even sure what I was selecting when it happened, although using Text Style panel is a consistent culprit. Am running Publisher 1.7.1, downloaded from the store on the initial release day (no beta was installed). Am running Mac OS Mojave, 10.14.5, iMac, late 2013, 32gb ram, 3.2Ghz Intel Core 5 The document is essentially a blank slate, a few items on the master, document set up for Half Letter size w/spreads. Will attach the document, as well as a PDF of the bug report the system created. Perhaps a fresh install, as described by the other user will remedy the problem. If not, please investigate Support Team, we're counting on you!! As a sidebar, I am excited and proud to be using Publisher. I have produced three books for print for an old friend using Adobe InDesign; however, I am determined to produce the fourth book using Publisher. Learning curve mainly relates to learning the differences from InDesign, but it is a welcome challenge. Bios and Farewells.afpub Affinity Publisher Crash Report.pdf

Just after putting the finishing touches on my deliverable I updated one more linked asset (exported out of Sketch to PNG) and from that point onwards my Affinity Publisher crashed and any subsequent attempt at opening it crashes AP. I am able to open a new document and edit it no problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Affinity — no luck. I tried using Time Machine to go back an hour to well before I made the last changes — still no luck. (So maybe the linked asset wasn't the culprit after all.) Attached, two crash reports and two versions of the file. Affinity Publisher 1.7.1 MacOS 10.14.5 Any short-term workarounds to reaccess my file would be greatly appreciated as I'd like not to miss my deadline tomorrow.

Oh my god, I am in a crisis I have built a 16-page document that is due tomorrow at the printers and affinity publisher has decided it doesn't want to open any of my documents no matter which way I try. I seriously will not get paid if this cannot be resolved by 12 o clock tonight. The program opens fine I open a doc it opens then immediately crashes, this process is the same whether I open from the recent link, open as new or open directly from the file itself? Any help would be humongous right now, thankyou Kane

I have created macros on one workstation. I then use the export button on the macro panel to individually export each macro. For some reason a file must be open to do so. Once exported I transfer the file to our internal server from which my colleague copies the file to his workstation. He opens a file and then clicks the import button on the macro panel and when he selects one and clicks to import, it crashes. Any ideas?

Hi, I have a Mid 2015 15 inch Macbook Pro running the OSX 10.14.4 and Affinity photo 1.7.1. I've been experiencing some immediate crash issues since previous Affinity Photo 1.6.6 whenever I tried to launch a batch job (won't even show the first dialog window) and the same happens if I try to saved a recorded a Macro. Application just die without further information, just quits immediately. A few months back I heard about the new release (1.7) so I just waited for it to come out hoping this new software release will solve this weird behavior. But some far no luck at all. I've run some basic "troubleshooting" procedures such as uninstall/re-install, update software version, update OS version; but still any luck. Any ideas of what can be the cause for such annoying behavior?

To reproduce: Create new doc and save it (so it has a title) Create text frame and double click frame to get cursor focus In Fields panel - click (just once even!) Title (under Document Information) - and pop, it's gone! Bloody love the app so far though!

Ever since the upgrade when I try to group layers AP crashes. This is within a saved AP file. Windows 7 - 64 bit ~ AP 1.7.0.367 Is there a later patch after this version? I had no problems before other than kind of laggy but I don't have a real powerful computer, either so it was not unexpected. Can I just uninstall then reinstall the previous version? EDIT 6.15.19 I saved this file as a jpg and created a couple of layers in the jpg file, grouped them and there were no issues. ALSO, I did not mention that I had grouped layers in the original file so the crash is happening after the RAW file is saved as an Affinity Photo file with the history saved.

Clone tool works well when focusing on one object hate the looper but it does disappear by lifting pen. Works with flip - none; flip - horizontal But when moving to another object to clone, it crashes have tried this several times on several images. A very large clone brush slows the cloning process greatly 72C82A0D-6EB7-42AD-9382-59F26A748318.MOV 25D3E123-A6FC-46C2-B744-9DB22B2BB285.MOV

I keep trying to work off of my beta file that I spent forever on and not the software after downloading the full release keeps crashing each time I try to open it. Is this happening to anyone else and/or have a way to fix ? Best, S
