czissis Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 It's been so many days that I use Publisher and so far I only came upon this bug! I even felt so confident that ... although you say not to use it for a professional use I kanda did!!! I will send you picture of the final product!! ha ha ha!! So... sometimes when you try to insert a photo into a shape - like a "double star" for instance - the app crashes. I am sending you the report of the dialogue box that appears after an applications crashes that prompts you to send to apple. I hope I help just a tiny bit for another amazing app from you guys! Excellent work ... thank you! affinity designer bug.txt jmwellborn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Pauls Posted October 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2018 Struggling to recreate this is there anything unique about your files - would it be possible to attach one or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi czissis, Welcome to Affinity Forums I'm also having trouble reproducing this. Can you also detail how you are adding/inserting the images into the shape please? A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Simpson Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have this problem too, but with psd or afphoto files. Anything that attempts to manipulate these images on the page will reliably crash Publisher in short order. I appreciate that some function may be under construction here – for example, after placing these files, the menu option to convert to picture frame is greyed out. (I can create the frame, then get the psd or afphoto into it....and it all works.....for maybe 10 seconds or so, then poof!) Experience with jpg files has been pretty stable.

Excellent work ... thank you! affinity designer bug.txt Hello. Here's my small contribution on the topic: I've tried to get it to crash on purpose by using multiple shapes and image formats (jpeg and tiff). No luck so far. I do have trouble finding consistency in the manipulation of images in a shape (scaling etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czissis Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yeah I know ... it is not that is a clear crash all the time. I got it working and then manipulating the images had proplems ... eventually you get it where you want at the end! It’s not a major problem there ... more like a weak spot that needs a bit of attention by the developers... I am sure it’s gonna be fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czissis Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I will try to recreate it and will send a video and the files when I get back to work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czissis Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Also here are the photos of the final product as I promised ... printed and ready to go!!! FYI the pics in frames element was not used in this particular project just to be on the safe side!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czissis Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ok this morning i have tried to recreate the crash ... after a million tries and a 48 min video AP worked like a charm! So maybe my mac was under the weather that day! So i think my post was totally worthless ... sorry to have bothered you all and thanks again for the response guys!

Just a bit of general advice: When I experience general to extreme (Crash) odd-things I will log out and log in again and they tend to go away. Also don't let the machine run and 'sleep' all day for days on end. Shut down every couple of days at least. czissis 1 Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.
