Publisher 1.8.2 crashes

[Vormgevertje]

After the latest update (to 1.8.2) Publisher already crashed 3 times.

- Once while clicking on an image file to place it
- Twice while saving (command-s)

How can I return to the previous version of Publisher?

The crash only occurs after I placed an image. 
After typing text, I saved the file with no problems...

Hi @Vormgevertje

Do you find this is after any particular image you insert? If so can you attach it?

Do you have any crash reports you can attach?

[Vormgevertje]

I tried placing other images and found no problems.

So yes, the crash only happened after placing the afdesigner file I attached herewith.

For your information: I placed this file in other documents (before the update) and had no problems..logo theater de warf.afdesign

Where can I find a crash report?

It should just pop up after the program crashes, that file seems to place fine for me. What MacOS are you on? Are you placing this into a new document?

[Vormgevertje]

Nothing popped up....

Working on macOS Mojave 10.14.6

And yes, I created a new document after the last update.
I added the afpublisher document

Rond_de_Wier_mei_juni_2020.afpub

As a test, I created a new document in Afpublisher, placed the same image as before, tried to save and again a crash (no bug report)

 

I created again a new document. Placed a random image, typed some text and saved the document. No problem.
Then placed the afdesigner file, tried to save: crash.

Then I had an idea...
The afdesigner file has 2 artboards. The crash happend with the Grey logo 
So I changed the artboard to the colored logo. Saved it.... No problem! Saved it perfectly.
Then changed the artboard again to the Grey logo, tried to save.. BAM, crash.

Another test....

I placed another afdesign illustration in a new document. Also a document with 2 artboards.
Both artboards resulted in a crash.

Placed yet another afdesign document (with only 1 artboard): No crash.

 

So the crash seems to be the resukt of placing an afdesign illustration that has more than 1 artboard....

Thanks, I can reproduce this now and have passed it on

Just installed the new update of Publisher... Problem seems te be solved. Great! Thanks

just FYI, next time: After each application crash macOS generates a report and opens it in a window pop-up looking like this:

It may take a few seconds for this window to appear. It may take even longer to appear than your reopening of the crashed app manually.

Your crash reports are stored in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/Affinity Publisher_2020-03-23-043539_mbp2.crash, whereas their file name starts with "Affinity Publisher", followed by date-time_computername. Alternatively you can search, read, and reveal-in-finder a report via the macOS app "Console". (https://support.apple.com/nl-nl/guide/console/welcome/mac)

The fix for this has been rolled out in the recent 1.8.3 release
