Constant crashing when auto-updating linked layers

[felipe_g]

When I save over a previous version of a file and Affinity Photo auto updates the layer, Affinity Photo crashes... Not every time, but more often than not.

Also, I always get following warnings EVERY TIME:

 

Even though the warning appears, the file is updated normally (the warning appears for absolutely no reason, its just a nuisance)

This has been going on since release of V2...

Where is the file being stored? If it is, for example, in a folder managed by OneDrive or another cloud service that can physically remove the file to the cloud to save space, leaving only a "stub" entry on the disk, it is possible that when Photo tries to read it to perform the update it doesn't get the complete file because the cloud service has already begun moving it.

Its on an ssd right now, but it also happened when it was on a mechanical drive or nvme...

@Felipe_RB It's not something I can replicate but I recall seeing a similar issue reported some time ago.

Which app are you using to edit the linked file?

[felipe_g]

Usually I use Blender to save out renders, EXRs or PNGs

Yeah the crashes dont happen every time unfortunately

But why does it show these "file type is not supported" error messages even though the image is updated?
