After the last release, any basic operation on Affinity Photo for mac causes the whole computer to freeze for 2 or 3 seconds.

It happens when opening a file or when open or close the whole program.

I'm using 1.10.5 on MacOs 12.4 (Monterey), with Intel Core i9, 32 Gb RAM.

Same problem doesn't happen on Publisher and Designer.

I also tried to give more RAM to Affinity, but didn't solve the problem. It's currently limited to 10Gb.image.thumb.png.b6e5f75eb4705bf185d7a36f06a72f8e.png

Thanks for the reply, @stokerg

Yes, it still freezes even disabling the Metal compute.

However, If I change Display option to Software it works much better, with no freezing.

And it happens when opening or closing any kind of file... .afdesign, afphoto, png, and I don't work with large files. We are talking about < 10 Mb files, with less than 30 layers., web sizes.

 

Anyway, thanks for your input. It helped a lot instigating me to test other options on the performance page, and it kind of solved the main issue.

Let me know if you want me to send any kind of debug report for you to analyze.

 

Thanks

 

PS: In Afinity Designer (which works great), the following config is in place. But in Photo I can't select other display option than Metal, when enabling the Metal acceleration.

PS2: Another bug in Photo is that every time you close the performance window it asks you to restart, even if you don't change anything. In Designer it doesn't happen.
