AP crashed on MAC adding page from master


Recommended Posts

I was using Affinity Publisher on my Apple MacBook Air when it crashed.

Here's what I was doing:

I was creating a 2019 calendar.

My first thought was to create a Master Page with a table layout 7 column wide for days of the week plus 6 rows for dates, 1 row for the name of the month, and one for the days of the week; or a total of 8 rows.

Once I created the master page, I figured I'd create 12 pages from that master, and edit each page for each month.

That didn't work, because I couldn't edit the table on the page.

So plan B became edit the master to be the January Master, then copy that to make a new master for February, etc.

I created the January Master, created the January Page, copied the January Master and edited it to make a February Master, created the February Page, etc.

After I edited the October master to make the November Master, Affinity Publisher crashed (just disappeared completely) when I attempted to create the November page from the November Master.

Of course, I hadn't saved my document yet - but the good news is Affinity say it and allowed me to restore it as soon as I restarted it.  In fact, the November page had been created correctly, so the error myst have occurred after that.

He SteveB523,

Sorry about the late reply. It sounds like you might have encountered a generic crash related to tables. I had one this morning but I can't for the life of me remember what I was doing. Anyway, I just created a similar document to yourself and it was behaving itself. 

If it happens again, could you attach the file to this post and I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Hi @SteveB523,

You can use the Symbols studio to modify individual tables. 

  • Create a Masterpage
  • Create 12 pages from that Masterpage
  • when you need to edit individual pages, turn off the sync - image.png
  • When you finish with the edits, turn the sync back on

Test this on the latest build ( 139 ) and see how it goes. 

Thanks,

Gabe.
