Crash when using fields and pinning

[Michail]

There seems to be a stability problem when I use fields and pinning:

1. Open the attached file
2. Change something (e.g. the text)
3. Click with the "Move tool" on the pinned image
4. Select File > Save from the menu.
5. The program freezes (at the latest after the next mouse action)

Sometimes APub also crashes when I open such a file. But I can't reproduce that so reliably.
I have the impression that it only happens when both functions are used simultaneously. But I can also be wrong.

Hi Michail,

Thanks for the report and clear recipe to follow, I've logged this.

We have made fixes/improvements to this area (Freeze saving a file with fields and pinned images) of the program in the latest customer beta. If you would like to try these changes the beta software is available in the forum posts listed below.

The latest beta builds are downloadable from links at the top of each of these beta forum posts.

• Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.556 for Windows
• Affinity Publisher 1.8.0.556 for Mac

These betas install parallel, next to the release version (they do not overwrite your release) and so the fixes can be tried in the beta without affecting your normal workflow in the release version.

Once these programs have been through a full beta process the change will be released in a future free 1.8.0 update/patch to all customers.

Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately the described problem still exists 🤔.
