ddashanghai Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Publisher closes down immediately when pressing export, without exception. Impossible to work.... Publisher: 1.10.5 macOS 13 beta 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted July 31, 2022 Staff Share Posted July 31, 2022 HI @ddashanghai welcome to the forums. Is this happening with any document or just one? As you're using a beta of macOS, have you tried using Publisher and exporting the same file in a non beta version of macOS to see if the same occurs?

Schwelli Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Same here in designer, photo, publisher. Worked absolutely fine until today under macOS 13 Beta, now all three apps crash every time I click "export" -with any document. I reinstalled them, but it stays the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlSteve902 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I am going to package my file and move it over to another machine. Hopefully there will be a new release soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseLuisCR Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Same issue. In my case, it always crashes when I try to save the file through Print mode as PDF. Mac: 12.5 AP: 1.10.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted August 3, 2022 Staff Share Posted August 3, 2022 @JoseLuisCR Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums I do not think that your problem is the same as the one above, as all these users are exporting on macOS Ventura beta, which is a new problem, whareas you say that you are printing to PDF on macOS 12.5 Please make a new thread where your problem can be discussed and hopefully sorted for you Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

We're stuck with the macOS beta and the current version of Affinity without hope of new version of Affinity before weeks.... Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

This is happening for all documents, as soon as we export them (my last export was PDF). It's also crashing as soon as we try to open a pdf document in Affinity.

Use whatever installed OS you have that is not a beta. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could export my files normally under PDF or any format. Did you experience the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_h Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Same here. Publisher 1.10.5 (including previous versions) on iMac 5K, (3,6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, Radeon Pro Vega 48 8 GB, 27-Zoll (5120 × 2880), 2019) and several more machines, all using Ventura Version 13.0 Beta (22A5321d). Crash on export 100% on the cases. Deleting Prefs works only once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlSteve902 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Since the latest update to the beta, I can open and export files that were crashing. The current build is 22A5531f. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Luxford Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Ran into a desperate series of crashes with a 150 page document. Had to cut it down into chunks of 25 pages. Had to make multiple versions of files as burner copies cos it would corrupt and then not open the file once crashed. Mac Monterey version 12.5.1 M1 Mini Publisher 1.10.5 These documents are complex with lots of placed Designer files with nested Designer files in them sitting on top of and reaching into 180 gig of project data. All of this was sitting on the M1 hard drive for the M1 speed benefits. What I didn’t notice was the M1 running out of space, down to 45gig spare, less than 10%. Me making back up files was adding to the problem. I had seen the occasional memory warning but not on this day. Just the quitting. I have seen a warning saying the program had run out of memory allocation at 45 Gig on this 8Gig M1. So there is a lot of RAM synthesising going on. I moved the files to a SSD on USBC, still very fast. Deleted the local files to give me 220 gig free space. Now opening files that previously were quitting. Lesson for me: quitting might be a combo of system, hard drive space and file complexity. Hope this helps someone looking at this late at night with deadline panic.
