Andrew W Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I think i've found a bug with Affinity Publisher 1.9.0 on Big Sur 11.2.1 which crashes Publisher in the following scenario - I have an affinity publisher file with a number of linked PDF files inside it. The main publisher file is on an iCloud drive (and NOT downloaded to the machine) The linked/referenced files inside it are also on an iCloud drive (and NOT downloaded to the machine) Opening the publisher file attempts to load the file, and subsequently the linked/referenced files crashes Affinity Publisher each time. Summary - Affinity publisher crashes when loading a file that contained linked files/images that are stored on iCloud drive and NOT downloaded locally (crash report sent to apple) Reproducable fix - Right click on main publisher file and select 'download' Right click folder containing the linked/referenced files and select 'download' Main file then opens correctly. Crash File attached Affinity 1.9.0 icloud crash report.rtf MarekGFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarekGFX Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 +1. Maybe it is not a bug, but it's really uncomfortable to download files from the iCloud manually. (Anyway, there are much worse bugs in the 1.9 release, so I can probably live with this one ).

SPaceBar Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi @Andrew W Sorry for the delay in replying to you. I have been unable to recreate this using my MacBook Pro with Big Sur. I was also able to load the files on my iMac with Sierra. I would always recommend downloading them locally before opening them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll check the latest version of bug sur and see if this still happens (as there’s been at least one new build of OS X and AP since reporting this.. yes locally downloading them fixes it but obviously the idea behind iCloud Drive files are that they are pulled down when needed if not locally.. I guess probably it’s more a OS X bug as it should be invisible to the application but… if it’s still an issue I’ll let you know SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceBar Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Thanks @Andrew W I know downloading them is not ideal but it does mean you can continue working. If we manage to recreate it here we will pass it on to the development team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
