Affinity Publisher open existing file app crashes

[poleeto]

Hi, I have a file that I was working on without any trouble for a while.

After after placing some affinity designer files the file won't open anymore or more specific the file open in affinity publisher but crashes after a few seconds.

Any suggestions? I had a similar bug on the iPad version a in a earlier version this was fixed with the latest update.

Hi Poleeto, 

Could you supply the file to examine?

when i open the file on my other mac, everything works fine. so i think the problem might have something to do with a log file or cache. Is there a option to clear the cache oder delete the logs?

best regards

The file opens fine for me on iPad.

iPad's don't specifically let you clear their file cache, generally a full reboot is enough to resolve most issues like this.

hi lee, the ipad is not the problem, the file is crashing on the desktop version.

I've also been having difficulties with one file in particular. I've been working on it for a few weeks now, I made an edit to a master page and the whole thing crashed. I've opened the file on MacOS, Windows, and iPadOS and all have them have crashed while opening. Here is the crash report I could pull from it.

sounds like the problem I had 

 

 

I renamed the resources used in this file, so it would open with a warning that  resources were missing but doesn't crash.

 

Proceeded to delete the objects using the resources, imported the resources again and saved. that fixed it for me.

hi @zantafio thanks for the hint, this workaround also solved the problem for the moment .

hope it won't happen again.
