using "save as" crashes Publisher


Recommended Posts

If you use "save as" and a file with the same filename already exists you get a warning that a file or folder with the same name already exists.

If you choose to overwrite the file the app crashes. Is repeatable and happens with new files too. I am on a MBP running Mojave. Publisher is 1.8.3

It is a known issue, unfortunately continuing in various app updates. It still happens to me, meanwhile in v1.8.3, and also v.1.8.4.651 beta.

I don't see this happening. Also running OS 10.14.6 and Publisher 1.8.3

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

It seems to happen only when using Separated Mode. (compare the linked thread above)

not sure what separated mode is exactly,

It's quite useful when working with two monitors, to place panels on the smaller screen and having the document window on the other. Then it can also be useful to move the toolbar to a different, custom position, e.g. from top to bottom of its screen.

Note that Separate Mode doesn't necessarily mean you want to have document windows separately. I prefer to merge document windows whenever one gets opened. I just need Separate Mode for the custom arrangement of panels and toolbar.

( It's also good to know that fullscreen mode then enlarges the document window unwanted behind panels & and toolbar, which were custom placed in not-fullscreen around the document window. )

Smaller, lower screen with panels and system menubar. All document windows get opened there (unfortunately always hidden behind the panels):

Larger screen for document windows & custom toolbar position:

Ok, that explains it well. I do have a 4K monitor connected, but I close the lid of the MBP so that I have just one big screen. I still have to find my way to around the program and arrange it such that I have everything within easy reach.
