Affinity Photo crash

[Watcher900]

I am using Windows 10 Pro with Affinity Photo 1.7.0.333 Beta. I was in the photo persona and clicked on Quick Mask. Using the paintbrush with the color white selected I painted out the area I wanted to be selected. I then clicked on the adjustments icon and clicked on Shadow/Highlights and Affinity Photo crashed! It closed completely with no chance to save your work. I tried this several times clicking on different adjustments and always with the same results, it crashes.

Thanks for spotting this @Watcher900. I will get it logged for you! 

Oh and welcome to the Affinity Forums  

[Watcher900]

Your welcome, Chris. I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Hi all,
This issue was already fixed on Mac. The fix should be included in one of the upcoming builds for Windows.

Hi Gnobelix,
Just to check something: are you able to crash the app when using an adjustment as described in the steps on the first post? or are you adding a live filter instead (or doing something else)? Thanks.

[Watcher900]

I never got to use an adjustment, only click on one and it crashed. I didn't try to use a live filter.

Hello @MEB
How Watcher 900 writes, it does not matter, whether a live filter layer or an adjustment, one click is enough and AP crashes, without error report .

Cheers

Hi Gnobelix,
Mine is not crashing doing the same thing as you, but I can crash it in other ways. Thank you for the additional info/video Gnobelix.

I'm finding it does not crash using Adjustment Layers, but it does crash using a Live Filter.

[Gnobelix]

Affinity crashes when, using an Adjustment Layers or using a Live Filters.

[Watcher900]

I just downloaded 1.7.0.367 and it no longer crashes as it did before. I noticed that Quick Mask now has options to "snap to edges" and "refine" available I didn't notice those options before. Now when you activate Quick and brush out a selection and try to use a "Live Filter" it will crash.

 

[MEB]

Yes, the crash with Live Filters was logged and still needs to be looked at. I'm still checking the adjustments - as they seem to be causing trouble to Gnobelix.

[Gnobelix]

The crash is generated when the mask is displayed as an overlay and no selection appears (running ants)

Ok, the OP states that the QM was painted on which creates a selection. For me it no longer crashes using Adjustment Layers following the OP's steps.

Using Adjustment Layers while the QM is active, still does not crash the program. It does what I think should be the correct behavior, exits the QM. If I paint on the QM, a selection is created, and when selecting an Adjustment Layer, it exits the QM, leaving the selection. Live Filter's however, do crash the program, with or without painting/creating a selection. I noticed that your running Win10 Pro, where I'm on the Home version, wonder if that's got something to do with why you're still getting crashes using Adjustment Layers.
