Affinity 1.7 crashes on opening large TIFF files


Recommended Posts

Reported this as a bug prior to release 1.7.  Apparently the bug report topic was removed when 1.7 was released.  Any file - TIFF or DNG tested so far - larger than about 1.7 GB (that's right -  GB) will cause Affinity Photo to crash when opened.  The crash is immediate upon hitting "open' or when the icon is dragged into Affinity - so there is never an attempt to actually load the file.  The bug was reproduced and reported to the developers - but I can no longer find the topic.  I'd like to know the status of the fix - or if any is planned.

I've investigated the bug, and identified the cause of the problem. Unfortunately the fix won't be available in the upcoming 1.7.1 release, but will hopefully be available in a subsequent customer beta for the following release. Thanks for getting back to us again with your issue, and I apologise for the delay in giving you feedback.

Thank you for your reply.  I have a bunch of files that are too large - but I also have a bunch that Affinity can open; I'll work on those exclusively until the Beta comes out.  I can open the larger files in Gimp if I have to  - I'd prefer Affinity  though; you guys are great.

The bug means that files larger than 2GB will fail to load, so you can use that as a guide to which files to open, for the time being...
