Affinity publisher file corrupted

[Apm89]

Hi, I was working in a project and now it looks like is corrputed.

Any help?

operating system: windows 10

Working in an external ssd (Now I know this is a bad idea)

Version: 1.10.6.1665

Thanks

I've attached the file

1037304760_lamaanadesalzillov2.afpub

[Apm89]

Finally I was able to import the pages into another project. It seems that one image was giving problems.

Same with my current Version 1.10.6.
The .afpub file still works so I would call it corrupted but each time I save it it grows. The original 34mb file became in the first step 845mb and then grew save-by-save until 1,1gb. I have 24pages - so I would want to copy all of them to a new document. Preparing this answer I realiced that rather the whole build must be corrupted: I killed one element after the next in order to find the error. I saved several steps, all 1,06gb fat files. In the end I had a BLANK PAGE. 1,06 gb. Thats so crazy that I opene up a new thread.

Did it happen in/with another file to you?!

Hi! I've not experienced that behaviour in my projects, sorry. But it looks like something serious, I hope the developers can fix it.

This is a different issue. First, choose File > Save As. Does that shrink it?

Second, 1.10.6 has a known bug with linked images. Open the file (that still has the images you deleted) and use the Resource Manager. Select all the images, make them embedded, wait for it to finish, and then make them all linked again. Choose File > Save As. This will reduce the bloat for a while but you may have to repeat this every so often.

Third, do you have File > Save History with Document enabled? That will dramatically increase the file size and it won't go away even if you delete everything in the document.

Good luck
