XGJ Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Affinity Designer 2.1.1 Windows 11 Surface Pro 7+ i5 16GB RAM When working with high resolution photos for product prints, attempting to copy a group of layers or multiple layers results in Designer freezing. I've attached a sample. If you attempt to copy the "Logo" and "Bottle" groups, the app should freeze. TentHeader.afdesign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted September 8, 2023 Staff Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hi @XGJ, I've been able to replicate the freeze by just copying the Bottle group. The Freeze appears to be related to the Adjustment Layers, if I delete those or Rasterise the layers they are applied to and bake the Adjustment in, I'm able to copy the group and keep working in the file. I'll get this logged with the Developers, as those steps aren't needed on MacOS, you can just copy that group without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I tried this in the publisher beta 2.2 and it copy pasted just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried that myself and I'm still getting a freeze in the beta of Publisher 2.2 (and Designer 2.2 beta) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 @stokerg Another question one could ask is the amount of fonts installed and other stuff like assets, styles, brushes, etc. I don't have that content permanently installed and only add it when needed from my DAM.

Staff stokerg Posted September 8, 2023 Staff Share Posted September 8, 2023 @Return, Thanks for the recording. When I try the same, my whole Affinity app locks up and goes into 'Not Responding' mode and doesn't seem to recover.

Return Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 And I'm not running non-system background apps. Don't use geforce overlay and have set my ram to 24gb while having 64gb installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For myself, I had Clipboard History enabled in Windows 11, as soon as I disabled that, I was able to copy the group with no problems. @XGJ, If you can disable Clipboard History in Windows 11 or if you are using a 3rd party Clipboard manager, disable that and you should then be able to copy the group without a freeze.

Return Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Yes that I never use(d) and when switched on it gives the issue described. stokerg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
