[ADe / APu] File created in Designer makes Publisher crash instantly


Recommended Posts

Hi there!

I created a simple File in Designer, where I created a couple of Arboarts, but after pasting objects and images, I noticed I could not create more Artbords (even after deling the Artbords themselves, leaving a blank file as seen below):

I didn't notice when the Pages controls appeared on the bottom left side, by the way.

After this, I decided to try and open the file in Publisher, but after a few seconds, it simply closes. Designer and Photo can open it without a problem (the files is left blank, without any object; I simply copied what I needed to another file, so that doesn't concern me, but I wanted to report this anyway).

Best regards!

What kind of objects, @Mithferion?

However, this is similar to some other bug reports, including one I made, but I don't remember the details. Sorry.

I copied Rectangles made in a new Affinity Designer file (I had a screenshot and the rectangles were placed over certain areas, and then I copied them to this file), and also I dragged a .JPG file, exported from Designer. The rest was just other rectangles created in this files (I was working on creating a color palette).

Also, I didn't notice there were other reports like this one. :0

Best regards!

Thanks. None of the actions you took seem familiar as the cause of the problem I had, or other reports I recall seeing.

Hi both,

That Desiner file has got multipages/artboards, as if it was once a publisher file. Did you definitely create it in designer from scratch? 

Yes, I rarely open a File on the other applications of the Suite (sometimes I open a Photo file on Designer, but that's it). And I always work Publisher files on Publisher.

Best regards!

Did you try to copy an artboard into a document with no artboards by any chance?

Basically, the steps I followed were:

  1. Created a new Document
  2. I created 1 artboard and created some Rectangles to test different colors, using some Adjustment Layers on top of them
  3. Then, I duplicated that Artboard to try some variations on the colors
  4. Created a New From Clipboard document, to have a Screenshot of a color palette distribution I wanted to imitate, and drew some Rectangles on top of the Screenshot
  5. Copied and pasted to the first file, outside of the Artboards
  6. Then, I dragged and droped a .JPG file in the first file for a reference

So, let's say I had something like this:

After that, I tried to put the selected Group inside an Artboard and that's when I noticed I could not create another Artboard.

Also, I tried to reproduce the error, in the latest 1.8.4 version of Designer but the same thing didn't happen again (but Publisher still crashes).

Best regards!
