Designer 2 crashes at startup in osx

[MaartendeVries]

This morning Designer 2 work fine, and tonight it crashes directly after startup. I rebooted and reinstalled Publisher 2 but sady enough that did not help.  No new software, no changes on  y macbook pro, so why suddenly the crashes? Please fix asp.

best regards

Interesting update: When I double click on an .afdesign file the designer 2 program opens and works. But when I start directly the Designer 2 program it crashes...

There's to little to see from the above crash report of the crashing thread 0 invocation list, in order to get an idea why the app crashes!

Looks like that it crashed during performing MacOS related AppKit API calls here due to a the SIGNAL, Code 4 Illegal instruction: 4. - I've the impression that it has to do with the call to [NSApplication(NSEvent) _nextEventMatchingEventMask:untilDate:inMode:dequeue:] and thus ...

Do you maybe mean CTRL-Click (to bring up the reset menu) or is there something that Shift-clicking is supposed to do? 

I ask because on my Mac Shift-clicking on a Dock icon is no different from just clicking on it. Both launch the app.

• What does shift+open do?

If you are talking about resetting many of Apple's built in software packages to their defaults, then from what I can tell, it does not seem to apply to any of the Affinity ones, probably because a) they are not among Apple's built-in apps & b) the Affinity apps include CTRL-Click feature to selectively reset various ones.

Hi @MaartendeVries,

Thanks for your report and our sincerest apologies for the delayed response here. We are exceptionally busy following the release of V2 and we thank you for your continued patience and understanding here.

Can you please confirm for me, have you since been able to resolve this issue, perhaps by updating to the latest Affinity version? (2.0.4)

Many thanks in advance
