Sveto123 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) When I want to export files the browser windows opens and the app becomes unresponsive. It was a bug in v1 user MAcOS and continues. Sometime I can start selecting the path and it works. To make it always work, I need to do at least one successful export somewhere on my HDD and afterwards I can select another directory.

loukash Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Is your directory on a network?

Staff NathanC Posted January 20, 2023 Staff Share Posted January 20, 2023 Hi @Sveto123, In addition to Loukash's query above, is this when exporting via the export persona or just the standard File > Export menu? There is a known issue with the export persona crashing/freezing the app in the finder window if you have synced folders from Google Drive/Onedrive present (even if you're not exporting to them).

It is simply unbelievable that Serif Software has not worked on a fix for this problem in v1 and v2. Read what you yourself write! Even with OneDrive folders "present"! I wonder how many customers could be affected by this bug? And yet nothing happens from your side, NOTHING! We obviously experienced this error - the export persona is practically unusable. Prospects of Serif Software fixing the bug or grasping its seriousness: minimal. Affinity is unsuitable for professional or serious use. It is incomprehensible. Quote 1) You have completely wrecked the layers panel, Serif. 2) I recommend Reddit groups instead of this forum. Not the same few bot-like users replying to everything, a wider representation of users, fewer fanboys, more qualified users. In short, better! 3) I was here to report bugs and submit improvement requests for professional work professionally in a large setup and to bring a lot of knowledge from the world, i.e. professional product development, web- and software development, usability, user experience design and accessibility. I actually know what I am talking about! BUT! We are phasing out Designer and Affinity in 2022 Q1 - and replacing it with feature complete and algorithmically competent alternatives. Publisher is unsuitable for serious use, and was never adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reminous Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I've been exporting artboards in Affinity Photo a while now, but I recently found out that we can export at least one artboard from File/Export, then the Export Persona will work normally. But common Serif, let's fix that already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
