Affinity Publisher 1 crashes when saving

[studio martin]

Hi all. Can anyone here help?

I have just redownloaded Publisher 1 and now it seems to crash whenever I want to save this file?

Means I can't use the program at all!

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Which OS do you use?

Saves Ok for me via Apub v1, maybe you try to reset/clear your app user data settings and give it then another try. Or check performance hardware acceleration settings (on Win disable OpenCL computing etc.).

• save_as.afpub

No issues to save here, too. Since I don't have the fonts "Bitter" and "Mr. Dafoe" you might check these fonts, e.g. by de-/re-activating them, choosing another font temporarily* and trying this fonts in a different app.

(P.S.: The texts appear to be set to English while preflight reports a missing dictionary for "en-DE". If you fix this then APub's spell check may help to correct the various spelling issues (while it won't mark grammar issues ('Kunden dem Aufwand')).

* Edit: switching a font for an entire document is easier if you work with saved text styles (Text Style panel).

Sorry to hear you're having trouble @studio martin!

I too have had no trouble opening/editing/saving your document in Affinity V1 on Windows, so I'm not certain why you're experiencing crashing currently.

Does the attached, recreated document also crash when saving for you please?

What location is your .afpub file loaded/saving to, when this crash occurs please?

Many thanks in advance

Wow. What a genuinely wonderful community. I was not expecting a response and that is super nice.

So tried again and magically both your attached file and DanC and now the original one also work so really not sure what that could have been. I am on a mac and using latest versions of all software. If it happens again I will post back with more info so someone can debug it.

Thanks thomaso also for correcting my bad German. 😉

Since your uploaded .afpub works for the OP I am curious in what way you "recreated" the document, i.e. whether you changed a layer or used "Add pages from file" for instance or did just "Save As…" ?
