Publisher crashes when scrolling through pages

I have a publisher-file which has approx. 202MB. It is a book with many photos. Whne scrolling through the book, Affinity shortly hangs, does show the photos only in a blurry mode and then crashes.

Unfortunatly, it seems there is no Autosafe function.

Publisher 1.7.3.481

The images are all included as links

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (User file crashes app when scrolling) 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.

There is an autosave function, which by default should save the most recent version to a temporary location every 5 minutes. That's controlled in Preferences.

If Publisher is actually crashing, you should have a crash report that you could upload if Serif wants it. But if it doesn't occur in the beta they may not need it.

The FAQ forum has an entry describing how to find the reports.

The beta is now in release candidate stage for internal testing, so hopefully you will have a stable release build to use very soon
