Importing Brushes causes Affinity Photo to freeze.

[Donkey]

Using the latest 1.8.2 download, Mac OS 10.12.6.

Since updating to 1.8.2, I cannot import any .abr file. It just causes the application to freeze. I have tried different .abr files and files from different sources.

Anyone else have this issue or am I special?

Have included one of the .abr files that is causing the issue.

ARTOMATIC_Industry.abr

Hi Donkey,

This doesn't seem to be affecting me on Catalina. I'm waiting to get access to a machine with Sierra to see if I can reproduce this. I'll report back once I've taken a look. Thank you.

I've checked this on Sierra and it was fine. It could be an issue with a particular file on your machine. To locate it, please go to either of the following locations:

Affinity Store - /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Affinity Photo/user

MAS - /Users/username/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/user

You are looking for a file called raster_brushes.propcol. Once you have located it, can you zip it and upload it to this Dropbox folder:

Even zipped the file is almost 7GB, so I think something maybe wrong with that file. To large to uplaod to the drop box, i'll reset brushes in preferences and see if it changes things.

Thank you for responding though.

That is pretty enormous but if you have dozens of packs, I can see how it would stack up for raster brushes.
