encoding error upon image preview and save
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:54:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: Please see http://www.botmanfamily.net/~aurelien/tmp/gimp-error.png Under the windows XP version: the "save as" dialog cannot generate previews (error about invalid encoding appears, see image); the same error dialog appears upon subsequent attempts to save the file. As far as I can tell the file is saved OK but the dialog pops up so often (each time anything happens which requires the preview in the icon/title bar to be updated) that it gets so annoying that I cannot work on the file at all. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new image. 2. Choose "save as". 3. Click on "browse for other folders". 4. Whatever happens from now you get the error each time any preview needs to be drawn, be it in save-as dialog or in title bar of window. Actual results: See image. Expected results: Not to see error dialog. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Please see: http://www.botmanfamily.net/~aurelien/tmp/gimp-error.png
Did you update GTK+ to version 2.6.7? This problem is supposed to be fixed there.
I have GTK+ 2.6.7, yes. I re-installed it just in case but the problem is still there.
Unfortunately, Jernej used to distribute GTK+ 2.6.4 in the installer that was labelled GTK+ 2.6.7. AFAIK this has been corrected in the meantime. Please try again with the updated installer. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 167973 ***
Jernej's new (fixed) installer has fixed the problem. Thanks.
