Affinity Photo not closing file streams?

[Tailor]

Hello,

I just installed my newly bought Affinity Photo Software and did some tests. A really nice editing software for a very fair price. Thank you!

 

Unfortunately, i ran over a bug:

1. Open Affinity Photo
2. Load image from a ejectable mass storage device (external HDD)
3. Cancel project
4. Close Affinity Photo
5. Eject mass storage device safely

Expected result: Mass storage device should be ejected and ready to remove.

Actual result: A process of Affinity Photo is still working on the mass storage device. Error occurs: "Problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device"

 

Hints: At first I thought, it could be an open file stream from the loaded file, so I tried to delete the image and it worked. The problem is 100% caused by Affinity Photo.

Is there a process searching/indexing the disk or something similar?

 

Cheers,
Tailor

Hey Tailor, welcome to the Affinity forums. 

I've tried this a number of times now and each time the device is safely removed—what am I missing? 

When you cancel the project, I assume you mean you close it and don't save changes?
