elgarak Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 It has happened a few times to me that Publisher (version 174) crashes/becomes unresponsive upon saving. At first I thought it was related to saving/replacing an existing file, but it happened to me yesterday with a completely new file, too. I then force-quit, restart, and usually just continue. Yesterday Publisher refused to start after this force-quit. Weird things was that it displayed "Force Quit" in the Dock, appeared in the Force Quit Window (as responsive), but there was no process visible in the Activity Monitor. No click on any "Force Quit" would remove it. I tried to kill that by logging out, but the log-out failed, so it seemed, due to these weird remnants. I cold re-booted the Mac, after which everything returned to normal. That's on a late 2012 Mac mini running Mojave, in case it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted December 5, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hey elgarak, Sorry nobody has replied to you before now. Have you managed to install the 192 beta? There has been quite a few fixes since 174 so hopefully this newer build will be more stable.

Still having random crash issues with both Publisher and Designer when trying to save. Seems it doesn't like it saving to network drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving directly to network drives has been a bit of an issue for us. Until we can find a solution we have always recommended saving locally and then using the network drive to back it up. I appreciate this isn't ideal but for now, it is the safest way to save your work. ea0723 and Alfred 1 1 How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't move all that to local machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2019 Can you give me some more info about the network drive? I'm trying to find a thread that suggests changing the Sharing setting to either SMB or AFP. It might be worth checking which one you're using and see if it is feasible to try the other.

That's getting too technical for me. All I know is it's a NAS with one drive duplicating the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Chris B Posted March 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 14, 2019 Ah okay, in that case the right decision is no to fiddle with it! I'm really sorry about this—I wish I could offer more info but we have had a really tough time reproducing this internally. There are dozens of threads about it. If you find some spare time, it could be worthwhile having a bit of a read of some existing threads and see if some of the success stories work for you. Typing 'Affinity NAS' or 'Affinity SMB' into your favourite search engine should turn up a lot of results.

ea0723 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I am having this same problem. Tried moving my file to a local folder, but crashed on trying to save. I am uploading my crash report so hopefully you can see what's going on and get to the bottom of it Because I LOVE Affinity and this program and want it to succeed Affinity Crash on Save - Mac OSX crash report.txt Update: I found this was only happening on a specific file after moving pages around.. however, even after removing and reinstalling and updating the beta, the file still crashes. Luckily, I had a previous version that I went back to and could work from. That one works mucho perfecto ... so something must have gotten corrupted. Happy to send you the file (but it's big). (btw, the best way to find bugs is to work on something real - just like when learning to write code ) Edited May 25, 2019 by ea0723 update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
