wpm Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Affinity Publisher stopped working by not displaying any content in the main window any longer (see attachment). I tried restart and reinstalling the software already. macOS 12.5.1, Affinity Publisher 1.10.5 Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Welcome to the forums @wpm If this is a specific macOS issue I can't help, but the first thing to try is to either make sure the Publisher window has focus and press the Tab key, or use menu “View → Toggle UI” (they do the same thing). wpm and Callum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because 1) you do not have a document open so there is no document content to display & 2) because the UI (the Tool & Studio panels & the toolbars) have been hidden by pressing the Tab key or choosing Toggle UI on the View menu. So like @GarryP mentioned, the quickest & easiest way to show the UI is to press the Tab key to toggle it back on. You still won't see any document content until/unless you either open an existing file or create a new one from the File menu, or double-click on a document file in Finder that APub is set to open. wpm 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.5 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I recently added a feature request about this as it is the fourth similar issue in this month alone:https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/166820-please-add-some-useful-information-to-the-‘background’-when-no-document-is-open-especially-useful-when-the-ui-is-also-toggled-off/ wpm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
