Generate Image Assets crashes Photoshop when making half-size pngs from groups

Question

I've been getting Photoshop CC to crash consistantly when I try to generate scaled-down pngs from a layer group.  If I have generate image assets on and change a group name to "50% name.png", Photoshop instantly crashes.  If generate assets is off and I change a group name to "50% name.png" Photoshop does not crash until I try turning on generate assets, and then it crashes instantly.  Trying "50% name.png, name_full.png" also fails.  This has occured in different files.  It does not happen in every file or every time, but it happens very often.
I'm using Windows 8 and Photoshop CC 14.1.1 x64.

Hi.
I’ve installed the latest photoshop update (14.2.1 x64). Unfortunately the new update makes me now impossible to use the generator routine. My project needs “decades” longer to realise that I’ve activated the generator in the File menu. I click on Generate->Image Assets and nothing happens… first. After half a minute or so the checkbox eppear finally. You must know: I have more than 100 Layers to be generated to single images. A lot of them are smart objects or groups.
When I finally save my file to start the generate routine, I needs a lot ( ! ) longer to generate the images than before.
Additionally my main problem is stil lthere: Impossible to rename any layer or activate the blending menue, while the generator runs.
So with this update I’ve to wait much much longer to activate or deactivate the generate routine. Deactivating needs a long time too… What have you done there Adobe? (Sorry for this words.)
@Adobe support: Please contact me personally via mail if possible and I will send you the project file where this problem appear. I can’t publish the file for everybody, sorry guys.
Do someone knows how to go back to the prevoius installation? Really sad about the generator. A must buy argument and actually a real time saver.
