seabirdr Posted March 28, 2023 Posted March 28, 2023 The problem appeared in the official version 2.0. Now it reappeared in the 2.1 beta. Here's how it works: I close all the files, do nothing, and Affinity Designer's CPU usage stays around 10% . If I turn this off, the problem goes away, which is weird, I don't know what the connection is, but it works. Maybe it's a common problem, maybe it's only on my computer. But this is exactly what I came across, so I thought I would post it, hoping to help with the optimization of Affinity Designer. Quote

Can you attach a screen recording? I have recorded the screen and uploaded it here. https://we.tl/t-wiwXQv6Ta2 In the screen recording, I opened Affinity Designer three times. The first time I opened it, the panel were not enabled and the CPU usage was normal. The second time Affinity Designer crashed abnormally. The third time I opened it with the panel enabled, and the CPU usage was high. I noticed that there must be some historical files to reproduce this problem. The panel cannot be empty. walt.farrell 1 Quote
Staff Gabe Posted April 3, 2023 Staff Posted April 3, 2023 It's probably just rending the thumbnails for the recents dialog. If you leave it for a minute or so, does the load on the CPU drop? debraspicher 1 Quote

That's why I'm reporting this issue. Quote
