Affinity Photo: Astrophotography Stack Crashes (Version 1.10.5)

Hardware: MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2021, Apple M1 Max, Ventura 13.0.1, 32 GB Memory

Camera: FujiFilm X-H2s, Lossless Compressed RAW files.

Description:

I have tried loading 64 files & 20 files (two separate attempts) while Metal Compute acceleration was enabled. Each crashed within a second after clicking <Open>. 

Next, I disabled Metal compute acceleration and tried loading 20 files & 1 file (two separate attempts).  Each crashed within a second after clicking <Open>.

In order to keep it simple, I'm attaching the single RAW which crashed my Affinity Photo. I never got to a position to load any calibration files.

Here are the steps I have taken when attempting to load a single file (see attached).

Steps:

Affinity -> Preferences ->  Performance

[Uncheck Enable Metal compute acceleration]

Click <Close>

Restart Affinity Photo

File -> New Astrophotography Stack…

Type: Light Frames (the default setting)

Click <Add New>

Select 1 lossless compressed RAW image file (DSCF6433.RAF)

Click <Open>

Hi @David Dessert welcome to the forums,

This crash is likely occurring as Photo V1 does not support RAW files from this camera, after following your workflow in V2 which does support RAW files from the X-H2s this adds it without crashing as expected.
