Crash nesting a Fill Layer into a Pixel Layer


Recommended Posts

Recipe:

  1. Create a new file.
  2. Paint some lines with the Brush Tool (the Assistant creates a Pixel layer).
  3. Add a Fill Layer
  4. In the Layers panel, drag the Fill Layer down into the Pixel layer (to the right of the layer icon, so the long blue line shows).

Photo Beta 1.8.0.486 consistently crashes as the blue line appears. Photo 1.7.3.481 does not.

Crash reports are available, if they did not upload automatically. (If they did upload, they're associated with the same email as I use here in the forums.)

And here's a sample file, created in 1.7.3.481. Just Open in the beta, and drag the Fill layer down.

Hallo @walt.farrell,

I can confirm this.
But if you add an Empty layer instead of a Fill layer and then fill it with a color or a gradient and
drag these down into the Pixel layer (blue lines are displayed) then there's no crash.

 

Cheers

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Crash dragging fill layer to bottom of layer stack) of the program in the latest beta release of Affinity Photo & Affinity Designer on Windows. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below. Once Affinity Publisher has been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update to all customers.

The 1.8.0.514 beta builds are in links at the top of these beta forum posts
