Crashing When Opening Particular File

[christinerose]

I've been using your Beta software for a few weeks on a Halloween Party project. It's been working really well until today. Before today, there have been a crash or two, but it opened back up without issue, even with a recovery file when needed. 

Today, however, I downloaded the new version 1.7.0.139, and things were working well until they weren't. I was deleting a picture from a page, and the program crashed. When I tried to reopen it, I was prompted to choose the recovery file if I wanted. I clicked on that (as I hadn't saved in 15 min or so), and it crashed again. 

The second time I tried to reopen, I got the same prompt to open the recovery file, but when I tried, it crashed immediately.

The third time I tried to reopen the file, I thought I would not choose the recovery file option, but I wasn't prompted for it that time. It just crashed straight away.

I've tried numerous times since, but I cannot open that file. It will open my other .afpub files, but not that particular one.

I've deleted Affinity Publisher and re-downloaded/re-installed it, but it still crashes every time I try to open that file (Potions Book.afpub, attached). It will even open a previous version ("original", attached) of that file (from Time Machine), but not the latest.

So I thought that file was corrupt, but my partner is able to open it on his MacBook Pro without a problem. 

Thoughts?

Hi christinerose

Welcome to the forums

I am getting the crash here but I had to install the relevant fonts and to chose to restore the file. From the looks of it, it seems it may be related to some of the text or a particular font. I hsall pass these files on to the development team though too look into the cause

Cheers

Hi Chris, 

Thank you for your reply. My partner was able to open the file and make a small change. He saved it and pushed it to our git. I was able to open it again. I've been able to work on it since as long as I don't touch the image of the wolf skull on page 20, center of the right page. That was the image I was trying to delete when it crashed the first time, and it will cause the program to crash every time I try to delete or manipulate it. 

My partner tried, and it crashed his program too --- now he's unable to open it like I was before. 

Thought that information might be helpful.
