Johannes Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 StudioLink selection refinement - crash - every single time. If I do that like here on minute 19:00 my Publisher crashes in the second of clicking apply. Every time. On every file.

Staff Jon P Posted September 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 12, 2019 We've heard of a couple of reports of people getting crashes when doing refine selection in Affinity Photo but have struggled to reproduce the behavior. Before you refine a selection can you save the document with history and attach it here? Does it only crash if you click Apply when setting it to output as a mask?

I had now about 20 crashes with that in the last 10 minutes. Publisher crashes in Photo persona with selection refinement by clicking Apply when Selection is selected in the pull down menu and when Mask is selected. It doesn't crash with the other two options, where a new layer is created. It also crashes by just closing the selection refinement window if Mask was once selected. test.afpub image credit: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Affinity-publisher-icon-1080.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Affinity_designer_icon.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Affinity-photo-icon.png Edited September 12, 2019 by Johannes highlight test.afpub, added english screen shot, added credits Quote Advertising designer - Austria — Photo - Publisher - Designer — CS6 d&wP — Mac Pro 5,1 (4,1 2009) 48GB 2x X5690 - RX580 - 970EVO - OS X 10.14.6 - NEC2690wuxi2 - CD20"— iPad Pro 12.9" gen1 128 GB - Pencil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Jon P Posted September 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm afraid i still can't reproduce this with that file, but we have heard before of some people in experiencing a crash doing this step which we are still looking to reproduce internally. Do you have any crash reports in %AppData%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\CrashReports that you can attach?

Staff Jon P Posted September 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 13, 2019 Ah sorry, always a bit of habit to get the Windows location, I did attempt to reproduce on MacOS 10.11 however and still found the same, thanks for the reports.

Staff Jon P Posted September 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 13, 2019 I've added those reports to the issue we have logged for this, hopefully the developers can get some information from them. Bit of a shot in the dark, but can you try it again with View > Studio > Channels disabled and let me know if the same happens?

Johannes Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Quote try it again with View > Studio > Channels disabled tried it. crashed. I found out something new.

Staff Jon P Posted September 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 13, 2019 That was the key, although I also find I have to have the channels panel active to reproduce the crash here, but I have now reproduced it and updated our issue with a clear recipe, should be a lot easier for the developers to fix now we have reproduced it internally.
