Designer crashing repeatedly...file size limit or number of artboards limit?

[aclark]

I'm using Affinity Designer 1.7.1.1 on iPad and it is crashing repeatedly to the point of being completely unusable. I'm wondering if this is somehow related to my use of multiple artboards, since that seems like the only thing I've been doing differently than before. The file that's crashing doesn't seem unreasonably large to me (25 artboards that are each 1280x800 pixels, 2.8MB total), but when I remove some of the artboards it seems to be fine. Anyway, I'm tired of trying to set up my document by trial and error. Is there a limit on the number of artboards that the iPad version can handle? Or is there something else that I can try to stop the program from crashing all the time? The same files that crash on the iPad version work on my Mac version. I've attached one of the problematic files here. Thanks.

Hi @aclark,

What iPad model have you got, so I could try to replicate it here? 

Thanks,

Gabe.

Sometimes it takes a minute or two to crash. I couldn't figure out anything specific that triggered it, except that it generally seemed to happen in pixel mode.

I tried to make it crash in both pixel and vector persona but no luck. It worked every time. It would be helpful if you can notice a pattern or some steps to replicate it.
