huubjonkers Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi, Publisher is crashing for no apparent reason. Just opening a file and waiting for a while without editing wil also crash the program in time. No warning (it just disappears). After re-opening a file that did have some changes before the crash wil not give the popup for a file restore option. I have the feeling that a big file (1GB) is cousing the crash more rapidly than a small file. But both wil crash. I'm using version 1.7.0.174 on a windows 10 machine.

huubjonkers Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Chris, I continued using the program the last two weeks (with a lot of ctrl+s). During the first week the number of crashes decreased day after day. The last week the program did not crash atol. So the problem somehow disappeared.

Steps Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 @Chris_K I can confirm it also for build 206 on Windows 10. With 20 pages of photos Publisher is really stable and relieable, but with 30 pages it crashes to Desktop all the time like @huubjonkers described. Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

huubjonkers Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 What i noticed is that when i navigate to a page by using de pages pane (double clicking the page or by right clicking and choosing go to spread) the program is more lickly to crash than just by scrolling the canvas. Anyway, the image rich pages are the suspect of crashing the program.

So it looks like Publisher crashes on low memory. It needs a better handling with that situation. To continue my project I rasterised all my images. My document has 301 DPI and the images where placed at 900+ DPI. So as a pixel layer now they use less space. I can now continue working on my project for some more pages I think. I hope devs see app crashes like this as a high priority issue. Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

Isa Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Publisher no longer opens on my computer (Windows 10). I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it's still not fine. What can I do to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can I do to use it? For clarification: Does it crash opening one specific document or does it not open at all (without any document)? If it does not open at all I suggest you want to start a new topic as in this one we're talking about a specific problem of too big documents. Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

huubjonkers Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 what I noticed: When I start up the computer freshly and try to open the large document the program wil crash immediately. I then restart the program over and over until the file opens (about 5 attempts). In the beginning, the system uses 8 GB of memory. With every new start-up after a crash, I have more time to work on the document. In the in the meantime the used memory runs up slowly. After about 10 crashes, the system uses 28 GB of memory (thats the max allocated memory as set in the preferences) and the number of crashes are considerably going down.

Steps Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 My photo book has now 41 pages with a lot of images and effects. It's a 301 DPI document with the dimensions of 38,2 x 19,4 cm. I build up a page by dragging in up to 8 linked images and place them. When every image has it's final size I rasterize everything to a Pixel Layer before going to the next page so that my Resource manager is empty after that. I had no crash since hours of heavy usage doing it this way. The crashes have something to do with Images. Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

Steps Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 @Chris_K Just FYI: On the other thread for basicly the same problems I just provided Jon P a copy of my project file to investigate the crashing issues further.
