RedSnapper Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 I create a new canvas and go to Place. I select multiple images and they are loaded. They can be seen on the LH panel. I try to place the 1st image. I draw it out and when I release the mouse Affinity closes. I ty the procedure again but the same thing happens. Therefore I have Open the files individually. Quote

RedSnapper Posted October 23, 2022 Author Posted October 23, 2022 Thanks Carl. I tried that but it made no difference. Quote
carl123 Posted October 23, 2022 Posted October 23, 2022 OK, then you will have to check to see if you have any known KB numbers that have been causing issues lately Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff DWright Posted October 23, 2022 Staff Posted October 23, 2022 Hi @RedSnapper, When you see the Place Images thumbnails on the left hand side Photo is waiting for you to place them on the canvas, to do this on the canvas press and hold the mouse button and move the mouse to set the places area size and when you release the mouse button the image will be placed and it will be removed from the place images list.

RedSnapper Posted October 23, 2022 Author Posted October 23, 2022 As soon as I release the mouse after placing the 1st image Affinity closes. Quote

I didn't think I did, until I tried to replicate an issue, and the app (Designer) crashed. Check to see if which and when updates were installed. Now to make matters worse, with Win10, we do not have the built in ability to hide updates once we uninstall. So what happens is that a short time later the update is reinstalled by MS. The only workaround I've found is to pause and set the time for checking for updates back as far as it allows.

I seen that, but when I looked there was no link to download it. Other than that it talked about using command line. Not worth it to me. You can go to Advanced Options and it provides a longer time period. I have mine set to pause until 11/23/2022.

RedSnapper Posted October 25, 2022 Author Posted October 25, 2022 None of the updates mentioned appeared in the list of updates. Quote
RedSnapper Posted November 8, 2022 Author Posted November 8, 2022 Thanks for all the feedback. It something I rarely do (placing multiple images), so I think the simplest solution is don't do it. Quote
RedSnapper Posted November 10, 2022 Author Posted November 10, 2022 This problem does not occur in version 2. Quote
