Affinity Photo v2 on iPad Pro: crash when saving brush preset

[Hunternif]

I click on the brush icon on the top toolbar, I change some settings, and then I tap "Save". My app crashes. When I open it again, the preset is saved, with 2 copies. The copies are fine, but the crash is more concerning, as I am afraid to lose my work.

I am using an Affinity Photo v2.5.4 on iPad Pro 2020 12.9". I observe the same crash when I do this in Affinity Designer v2.5.4.

@Hunternif Welcome to the forums.

It's not something I can replicate using my iPad Pro 12.9 in Photo or Designer V2.

Which brush are you editing?

Can you do a screen recording showing your workflow, just in case?

Hi @Lee D, thank you for your quick response.

This happens to me with any preset of the Paint Brush tool. Please see the video below.

During my normal workflow, this is what typically happens:

1. I do some drawing in my document.
2. I modify my Paint Brush preset, e.g. edit the response curve under Dynamics > Size.
3. I tap "Save as".
4. The app crashes.
5. I open the app and my document again, and I find the modified preset saved correctly, albeit as 2 copies: "Brush copy" and "Brush copy 2".
6. I can now proceed to rename the preset and use it.

During recording, I found that this crash occurs about 50% of the time. Closing and reopening the app, and creating a new document seems to "help" to trigger it.

@walt.farrell thanks! I re-recorded the video with touches showing, hope it's more clear now.

Thanks for the updated video, @Hunternif.

Generally what you're doing works for me, and doesn't crash.

However, I did get one crash trying that today.

@Lee D: Here's the crash report, from Photo 2.5.5.2636, this morning:
