Proposed fix: don't show results dialog when doing a "first run" auto-import (1.20 KB, patch)
2007-09-11 13:31 UTC, Sandy Armstrong 		committed Details | Review

Description Josh Grant 2007-09-10 16:01:28 UTC 
Steps to Duplicate:

1. Create a 'Sticky Note' on Desktop
2. Logout then Login
3. The importer will run and import the note but Tomboy will not be running in
the panel.

This only appears to happen on the first imported note.

That doesn't sound good.  Anything interesting show up in the ~/.tomboy.log file?

There doesn't appear to be anything too useful in the log but have a look...
Comment 3 Sandy Armstrong 2007-09-10 20:58:59 UTC 
Yeah, I guess it's not an error we log.  Too bad we don't redirect stdout/stderr/etc to the log, too.  Thanks, though.

Proposed fix: don't show results dialog when doing a "first run" auto-import

The crash appears to be triggered by showing the results dialog ("1 of 1 sticky note imported yay") during the applet startup process.  This patch changes the behavior of the import addin, such that the dialog is only shown if the user explicitly initiates an import through the Tools menu.

This is probably better behavior anyway (less annoying to the user).
Comment 5 Sandy Armstrong 2007-09-11 14:54:23 UTC 
Received approval from release-team to commit the patch.  I'll commit as soon as I get a chance.

However, as Vincent Untz suggests, I'm leaving this bug open so we can track down the real source of the crash (if another addin wants to run a dialog at startup, Tomboy-as-applet should not crash!).
Comment 6 Sandy Armstrong 2007-09-11 15:19:08 UTC 
Committed to trunk in r1528.

Setting the default assignee and QA Contact to "tomboy-maint@gnome.bugs".
Comment 8 Benjamin Podszun 2009-02-16 19:19:52 UTC 
Committed 1.5 years ago. Is this still open/relevant?
Comment 9 Sandy Armstrong 2009-02-16 19:37:43 UTC 
Good point, Benjamin.  We can cross this bridge if/when it ever comes up again.
