Publisher crashing using Books, e.g. when saving/exiting

[MCBPub]

I was delighted to see the Books feature included in v2 and have been using it to create my latest canal book. It was probably my main reason for upgrading to A2. It takes me back to how computing used to be - madly saving files after every change, every insertion of a photo, just in case the software crashes again and you lose all your latest edits. There have been different circumstances where the software just stops doing anything mid-flow and I usually have to use Task Manager to close it down and start over. However, lately it keeps asking me if I want to save the Books file as I exit the software, even though I have been saving as I go along. Then when I click YES just to be sure, it hangs until Windows offers me the option of shutting down the app. Fortunately my earlier saves appear to be working and when I reload the software and my book files, I do not appear to have lost anything. Incredibly frustrating, but this is a feature I really want to use. I should say, I am using Windows 10, not Mac OS, I appear to have posted here because of my search to see if anyone else was suffering similar.

Hi, this is definitely a bug in 2.0.4 and many of us have encountered it - it's very easy to trigger this bug. The good news is that major improvements have been made to the Books feature in the 2.1 beta so this may be fixed. You can wait for the release of 2.1 or give the beta a try.

Cheers

Hello Mike, many thanks for taking the trouble to respond. In so much as it means it is not just me, I am pleased to hear what you say! As a known "issue," at least it stands a good chance of being fixed. Roll on 2.1...

Hello again Mike, thanks for pointing me towards the beta copy of Publisher. I decided to try it and so far it is behaving better, the routine crashes seem to have stopped. A few svg diagrams lost their scaling and were huge on page, that is the only annoyance so far.
