Staff Sean P Posted February 10, 2021 Staff Posted February 10, 2021 Hi haakoo and OctaTracker, We've identified what is causing the crash on run up. Please see Mark's comment here for how to work around the crash. Note you will need to change the folder from 'Photo' to 'Designer' in the AppData path. If you don't have the XML file listed you should be able to copy it from same location as the non Beta AppData folder. Note if you do a Ctrl-run up it will clear this setting again and cause this crash to re-appear. Uncle Mez 1

PMan Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Hi Serif, I too have same problem of Designer Beta 1.9.1.944 not loading (though full Designer 1.9 ok. I was going to report it but found that it has been reported, problem identified and solution being worked on already. What a great response in these difficult times - it is an example that other major firms should try to emulate!! Thank you Pman Mark Ingram 1
