multis Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi, I found (by accident) a new way to kill Publisher. We verified that this "works" on both W10 and latest Mac OS on 1.9.1 both. There are no ways that i know to fix this, which is hugely annoying. A simple file like this:https://www.dropbox.com/s/3h24qf2syswxn5r/v5 - Copy.afpub?dl=0 You just need to open it and it will freeze the Publisher. It worked a long while, but resizing one VP star (out of quite many that the file has) that had by itself bloated (which is annoying feature that just happens - some symbols will be randomly resized when you copy the page or part of it they are on). I tried to set the star to 6x6 mm. And Published demanded that it HAS TO BE 7,6x6 mm (bloated size was 55x6 mm) and then, after saving, this is the result. The mac user is totally pissed as now Publisher tries to open that file no matter how you open Publisher. So, essentially he has now Publisher that can't do anything. On Windows you can at least open another file, but with Mac you can't. I believe he will need to reinstall whole Publisher. This is quite crucial bug. And I'd very much appreciate if this is resolved quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mac user can press Ctrl and keep it pressed while starting Publisher, until the Clear User Data dialog appears. Then release Ctrl, and tick the box to not open previous files (sorry, away from computer so I can't give the exact name) and press Clear.

multis Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Walt, that was very handy hint. Thanks. It fixed the mac version of Affinity. Now we can use it again. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multis Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 But I have to point out that the file I shared does kill Publisher on every time it is opened. So there is definitively a crash situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted March 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2021 I tried this in the latest beta and the file appears to be working as expected in the 1.9.2.998 version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multis Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Ok. When is 1.9.2 expected to be out? And do you have any reasons why it kills 1.9.1 (and 1.9.0) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted March 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted March 9, 2021 I cant say exactly but I would recommend trying out the beta first so that if you still experience problems we can continue to investigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
