Changing the status of one (duplicated) AF file to embedded corrupts document

Bug: Changing the status of one (duplicated) file to embedded corrupts document

In Publisher...

File > New

File > Place any APhoto file

File > Place the same APhoto file again (or simply duplicate the file)

in Document > Resource Manager change one instance of the APhoto file to embedded

Save and close the document

The document is now corrupted and unable to open again - will also lock/freeze Publisher application 

No error message just a "Loading 1 document" message in top-right of the screen


Windows 8.1. Publisher Beta 1.8.0.523

(Unable to test/confirm on a MAC)

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Crash embedding afphoto files) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.
