danzefirelli Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I was trying to upload a photo that had a long title with alot of symbols "-", and words. After renaming the file (photo), Pubisher is not crashing anymore. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can upload this file or if confident ask a moderator for a private upload link or if it is really just the name, copy the name into a comment.

iconoclast Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I made the experience that Windows (and possibly Mac also?) doesn't support some signs like for example quotation marks and the question mark, whereas Linux supports them. So I couldn't open such files on Windows. After deleting the signs from the file name on Linux, it also works on Windows. danzefirelli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclast Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 In that case, possibly the file name was too long. Not sure about the actual state, but in the past there existed different standards. For example the joliet standard which allowed maximum 64 signs (incl. extension). As far as I know much more signs should be possible today, but I'm not sure. And it could even be that Publisher uses its own standard. I generally keep my file names short and prevent signs like: < > ? " : | \ / * and even umlaut characters. Someone told me in the past, you should even prevent capitals. But I'm not sure if this really can cause problems. This is a rule I ignore.
