Publisher Crashes on Page View - corrupts its links

[taharvey]

I've been having a problem with... Publisher crashing incessantly.  (MacOS)

My Graphic designer is about to throw in the towel and go back to inDesign. I'm giving it a couple days to see if there are responses from the team here on solutions.

1. Randomly certain file links will cause Publisher to crash.

• You can rename the file, then relink it, and it will "magically" fix it. But then another link will cause the same problem hours/days later
• You can rename the whole assets folder, then re-find it, which can fix all in one operation, or just cause it to crash forever. Depending on your luck

2. When re-finding the whole assets folder, all the assets relink, but they stay as low-res stand-ins until you manually relink each and every file... 

Currently since Publisher clearly has serious file management bugs, I've embedded everything. We'll see how long it can keep from imploding. 

 

What is the solution to both 1 & 2, and what is the timeline for bug fixes?

We're aware of some stability issues with Linked images in the current version of Publisher, these have been identified and fixed in our latest beta version. You can download this from the following link -
