Jowday Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Edit: Seems to be fixed in beta 1.8.1.611 I spent 2 mins on making a few tests in all of the programs and versions below: Windows 10 Enterprise (I have seen reports from other users on Mac with same issue) Designer 1.8.0 release version Designer 1.8.1.604 beta Photo 1.8.0 release version Photo 1.8.1.604 beta Publisher 1.8.0 release version Publisher 1.8.1.604 beta What a rotten bit of luck: ALL files based on whatever template under the 'Architectural' tab cannot be saved (to local disc, desktop), ever, same error: Patrick Connor 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

walt.farrell Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Terminology note: Those are Presets, not Templates. Good discovery and research. Thanks! I can confirm it on my system, too, in both 1.8 and the 1.8.1 beta.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 8, 2020 Staff Posted March 8, 2020 Sorry, you are correct. This was reported on Monday and will be fixed in the next beta builds. Avoid using those templates for now, and in the unlikely event you have used one and not yet crashed, the only workaround we have is to save a snapshot (in the snapshot panel) as a new file.

Thanks for the workaround, Patrick. But I assume you meant "(in the snapshot panel)". I had never noticed the "new document from snapshot" icon in that panel, and that's good to now about in general Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 8, 2020 Staff Posted March 8, 2020 Thank you walt, fixed. Ironically that work around is also a bug because it is meant to save the template type in the new from snapshot and it's only because of an oversight that the workaround doesn't also crash.... 🤔 Affinidesigner and walt.farrell 1 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Staff Patrick Connor Posted March 14, 2020 Staff Posted March 14, 2020 We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Unable to save projects created with Architectural presets) 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. Affinity Designer 1.8.1.611 for Windows Affinity Designer 1.8.2.4 for Mac Affinity Publisher 1.8.2.619 for Windows Affinity Publisher 1.8.2.619 for Mac 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 1.8.1/1.8.2 update/patch to all customers.
