Google Drive Export Crash

[SnapArtboardsToPixels]

Setup:
Google Drive (Version: 53.0.11.0 (Apple Silicon)) - Setup in stream mode, not complete sync
OS: macOS Monterey 12.0.1
I have the exact same issue on a different M1 Macbook Air

Issue:
Exporting slices from designer into google drive causes intermittent crashes.
Every folder your open while navigating to your save point increases the odds of it occurring.
It crashes prior to being able to hit export, it seems to be related to folder navigation and opening of directory. 

Doesn't seem to be related to the file, it happens on all files, some with one slice, some with 50.
I've waited for 30 minutes, it never comes right, you have to force close the applicaiton.

Workaround:
You try a few times and then at some point it will not crash.
It is not related to corrupt fonts, on one machine it happened prior to installing any custom fonts.

Thank you for the feedback of this issue you are having I will follow your work flow and test this on my M1 MacBook Air

I've actually just posted about the same issue. I didn't notice this thread. I'm on an Intel chip but having the same issue.

The error never causes a crash, it just spins forever, so I captured a log from when it was happening and have attached.

Any idea when this will get fixed? I really can't use the software when it's like this.

This crash is a Apple sandbox issue ae you running the Apple AppStore version or our version

[Heinrichdsf]

I'm running the version downloaded direct from the Affinity website.

[SnapArtboardsToPixels]

I also downloaded from the website for both.

Anyone tried the beta?

Edit: I've been working with it for an hour and it's definitely more stable, I'd be interested to know what @Heinrichdsf experiences

[Heinrichdsf]

@SnapArtboardsToPixels Hmm, I am actually going to re-install Designer today with the official Download and seeif that helps and if not I'll install the Beta. Affinity Photo does not do this so I've been going between the two...so frustrating.

[DWright]

Are you still having the same issue with Google drive with Designer after you have reinstalled

[Heinrichdsf]

@DWright Hi, yeah I'm still having this issue.

[DWright]

If you export locally to your desktop from Designer do you have the same issue

[Heinrichdsf]

Yes, it does not matter where I try to export to. It's so inconsistent though because I can go a day wthout any issue and then the following day it will refuse to work and just hang each time I use the Export Persona.

[DWright]

Can you please try disabling the Metal Compute in the Performance section of Affinity Designers Preferences

[Heinrichdsf]

It wasn't enabled when I checked.
