Aleksandar Kovač Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 On all 1.10.5 Affinity betas, almost each time when I am closing the file with imported-placed images I get a warning: "At least one file is currently being opened. Please wait for files to load before quitting the application." Nothing is loading as far as I can see. And it never stops. Nothing untoward visible in the Activity monitor. Is it something others see, too? Or, am I embarassing myself again with a lapse of patience/punctiliousness/common sense/ and so forth... On mac OS Monterey 12.2.1 and Mac Mini M1.

Old Bruce Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Try setting the preferences to not reopen files. It is the first item in the General tab/section.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 Thank you @Old Bruce for this workaround. I have done so and will see how it goes. I cannot find a reference for this behaviour except a case on Windows a few years ago. There, the problem was caused by certain PDF elements and the behaviour was accompanied by high CPU usage. Here this is not the case. This could still be a bug. Quote Alex Mac Mini M1, mac OS Ventura Affiñititos, how about a roadmap? (but with v2.1 efforts ... massive, tremendous improvement!)

Staff MEB Posted April 29, 2022 Staff Share Posted April 29, 2022 Hi @Aleksandar Kovač, It's possible the program was trying to restore a previous file that crashed and somehow become corrupted and wasn't able to fully load it again. If you quit the app, press and hold CTRL and launch the app again until a Clear User Data dialog appears you have there an option to "Don't Restore Window and Documents". Keep that option ticked only and press Clear. The app should no longer try to load whatever file was failing after this process. You can then keep the setting in Preferences to reopen files - Reopen Document(s) on startup - active.

DrewHarper Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I keep having the same problem, too. It seems like it may be one particular file. It's with my Resume-porfolio Publisher doc. I thought the problems had disappeared after the last time I recreated it all over again.. But here I am stuck with the number "Loading 1 document" stuck in there.. but no file ever shows up.. It's so galling. I thought it had something to do with iCloud.. ie Publisher was trying to open a file which iCloud had not yet fully synched down from the mothership... This 2023 one is bad: drew_harper_resume_portfolio_2023.afpub This is the old 2020 one which is openable... which i remade to be the 2023 version drew_harper_resume_portfolio_2020.afpub The PDF outputted version can be found at my portfolio site here:https://drewharper.com/ Must I recreate the same thing all over againa.. again?? Only to have the same bug reappear later? Help? drew_harper_resume_portfolio_2023.afpub drew_harper_resume_portfolio_2020.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewHarper Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Really?! Could you resave the 2023 version for me and put it back here? I have the fonts... Thanks ahead of time. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewHarper Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Thank you! I opened it up! Wow! My old file was visible! Yippee... Save... Stuck on stupid... It never goes past this... I force-quite, re-opened it.. moved a few things around... edited some text.. tried to re-save.. same result... it just hangs there forever. I love Affinity, I want to keep using it.. but what to do? What is wrong? What could possibly be so broken? My other files seem to be ok.. Should I reinstall the entire app?? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewHarper Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I also tried 'Save as a package...' that crashed the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 See if this version allows you to save it... drew_harper_resume.afpub Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

DrewHarper Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 It opened... Check. I could edit... Check. I saved it... It crashed again. It hangs. Thank you for your help.. Please don't give up on me Maybe I can change the file to make the crashes stop? I'm willing.. But what to edit out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewHarper Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I thought you might want to know this.. The app itself has not crashed.. It just cannot start or finish saving... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewHarper Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Ok! I took your saved 'good' file, opened it... and then made a New file with the same specs.. and manually copied and pasted the images one page at a time, from one file to the other file; and that finally worked. Woohoo. The page with the problem was the second page. Every time I trie to copy/paste that image inside to my new file. it crashed. But ONLY with the second page image. All of the other pages graphics copy/pasted just fine. So I went and found the source file for the one 'bad' image, put it in afresh, and bob's your uncle. I had to be careful not o accidentally save on the dodgy file... Or it would crash and I'd lose my progress on both... Got there in the end, thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
