can somebody please provide an example file and attach it here? (please make sure that there is no confidential data in that file.) thanks!
Created attachment 82370 [details] MS Project XML test file This is the MS Project XML file I can't import and that causes Project Management to crash. Thanks for your help.

Created attachment 100855 [details] [review] Probably fixes MSP import crashes This patch fixes the problem for me with both attached example files. It is a patch to a .xsl file (should be somewhere in /usr/share/planner/stylesheets/, so you do not have to recompile planner from source to try it out). What I noticed in the MSP .xml file is that the WBS number does not always match the hierarchy of tasks. So for instance a task could be 2.0 but have subtasks 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. Is this a freeform field in MS project? Can you really change the WBS number to any number you want? I'd be grateful for any confirmation that this patch properly imports MSP files, especially the ones that already could be imported before.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Testing on Ubuntu Hardy seems to have shown that this bug is fixed on Windows, but not fixed on Linux: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/planner/+bug/242581
John, can you provide me with a MS Project file that triggers the crash by attaching it to this bug report? Neither of the ones referenced from this bug report crashes on my system.
It seems to be working for me now, as of version 0.14.3 (running on Ubuntu Intrepid).
Version 0.14.4, Windows 7 (64-bit) still (again?) has this problem. Please find attached a sample XML file which consistently crashes Planner on my system.
