Peter Werner Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 I'm occasionally getting the offer to restore a file after a crash even when no crash occurred (I'm not getting the OS X dialog box with the stack trace when quitting Publisher before this happens). If I the software to go ahead and recover the file, it presents me with an earlier state of the last document I worked on. I suspect this might be something like a temporary autosave feature for crash recovery not deleting the temporary file when quitting the application or something along those lines. www.peterwerner.net
Old Bruce Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 Ditto. Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Staff Chris B Posted September 20, 2018 Staff Posted September 20, 2018 I've had this happen as well. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time because I was doing 100 things at once but now you've raised it on the forum, it has just clicked that there does seem to be a genuine issue. I can't tell if it's a really delayed response to a crash that happened a while ago or something going wrong. I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

Egged Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 After I close a large Publisher file (750 Mb), Publisher gives me a crash recovery message, even though it hadn't crashed. The file won't open until I quit and relaunch Publisher. So far, it opens the one I've previously saved.
Egged Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 If I try to open a Publisher file again without relaunching Publisher, I get another message saying: "The file is already open in another application."

It isn't an important bug but it is a bug. Yes, please @Egged - I have a feeling this is more likely what I saw. I quite often have to open large/problematic files and I'm sure when I closed one and then closed the app, I got the report. I've got some poking to do...

Egged Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Hmm, Now it's opening properly. Since it didn't crash, I don't have a crash report, and only a screen shot of the 2nd warning (attached). I had been having all kinds of kerning trouble with my book, and in frustration, cut the text that had been pasted from a Word document formatted for the Kindle, eliminated the old APub text box, pasted the text into Apple TextEdit to eliminate the formatting and pasted it into a new text box. My "bug" has now disappeared, and I've done this now to the entire book. I'm wondering if there was link between Word and APub causing the failure to open properly? Today, it opens normally as I'd expect.
JaneE Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Quote Since it didn't crash, I don't have a crash report You might want to take a look in Console. Sometimes an app crashes without notification but a crash report is still accessible in Console under "User Reports".
Egged Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Well, No crash report there, and the last crash logged was when using 1.7.0.57 from 10 days ago. The new version hasn't crashed, just gave me those "Recover File" messages, then the "file open in application" note above.
KnikmanAV Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 same here (on 133) Closed a document, shut down mac, restarted mac, opened Publisher and got the "recover file" message
Egged Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Well, that's worse than what's happening to me. In my case, after closing the document and trying to reopen it, I get the "open recovered file" option, then when I click on it, I get the "file open in another application" alert. I can't open the file until I quit and relaunch APub, but I haven't had to restart the computer to do so.
fde101 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Every time I start publisher right now I get a message that there is an unsaved file or something like that and asking if I want to open it; I keep telling it not to open it and it keeps asking each time I start up again. Shouldn't it remove the file or at least stop pesting me about it?
