fluffy sheep Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I have created a file that crashed when i tried to apply a text style to an imported text. Unfortunately I saved the file exactly before this operation and now publisher is not able to open the file again, whether with the actual version 1.7.0.192 nor a earlier. The file was firstly created in the previous version and did work in the new version 1.7.0.192 too. Everything worked fine till I pasted the text... Does anybody have an idea what to do in order to be able to reopen the file? I have attached the file, if anybody would like to make a try. Many thanks in advance. crashed file.afpub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I can not open your .afpub: both versions 174 and 192 crash immediately. (p.s .: on double-click your .afpub tries to open here in v.174, not 192) Work around: have it in local snapshot timemachine backup? macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy sheep Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 I tried the same, both version do not work.. Unfortunately i did not make any backup in the past days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Any reason for not even local snapshots? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204015 – "Your Time Machine backup disk might not always be available, so Time Machine also stores some of its backups on your Mac. These backups are called local snapshots. (...)

fluffy sheep Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I do not use Time Machine, because I make my backups manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFisher Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi fluffy sheep, I have looked at the file and this is crashing for me also. Unfortunately I cannot provide a solution at the moment but I have passed your file over to the development team for further investigation. If I receive any updates about the file I'll be sure to let you know. fluffy sheep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy sheep Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hi JFisher, thank you for the support. I have already started a new file, so I will not need the old anymore in the future. But maybe the development team will be able to fix the problem for the first full release, so this post would have had a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectively I hoped that the developers would find a fix for such problem for the full release. I really do not need your knowing better how to manage my work. Please answer the question, in case you have something productive to share, or take care of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 @fluffy sheep, pardon me, you're right. It was by no means my intention to offend you by criticizing a way of working. After your mention of "save" in your initial post it was rather meant to be a productive hint as to how such a situation might be avoided. That you wrote later to "make backups manually" sounds simply unnecessary risky to me since my experience with local snapshots via timemachine is just smooth and simple. macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
