Sections 'include on export' turned off, crashing PDF export

[Robert J A]

I am working on a document I wanted to auto fill version number, with sections. User error led me to uncheck 'include on export' in sections manager, with only one section created. I have found the error of unchecking 'include on export' in section manager causes V2 (2.0.4) to crash on exporting, on pressing save... I have tested the same procedure on Publisher V2 beta, and weirdly it worked and brought up a warning message – stating 'there are no pages to export'. Made me laugh the Beta version of the app is more stable.

1. Latest version in use (2.0.4)
2. Can you reproduce it? Yes, by not including any pages to export in section manager.
3. Does it happen for a new document? Yes, new document, same problem.
4. If you cannot provide a sample document then please give an accurate description of the problem for example it should include most of the following:

•    OSX Ventura
•    Metal acceleration enabled
•    Export the PDF (and get error message), instead program crashes
•    recipe above in description of problem and how error message works in Beta (crashes v2.0.4)

Hi @Robert J A,

Thanks for reporting this.  This is a known issue with 2.0.4 and is already fixed in the latest beta, which is why you could replicate it in the beta

Makes sense! Thank you, Affinity team!
