Description Martin Szulecki 2010-05-19 11:58:40 UTC 
Using version 0.8.3 on openSUSE 11.2, attempts to open or save files in pdfmod lead to a crash:

[SNIP]
Marshaling activate signal
Exception in Gtk# callback delegate
  Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle the exception.
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.
Parameter name: path2
  at System.IO.Path.Combine (System.String path1, System.String path2) [0x00000] 
  at Hyena.XdgBaseDirectorySpec.GetUserDirectory (System.String key, System.String fallback) [0x00000] 
  at Hyena.XdgBaseDirectorySpec.GetXdgDirectoryUnderHome (System.String key, System.String fallback) [0x00000] 
  at PdfMod.Gui.Client.<CreateChooser>m__A (System.String s) [0x00000]
[/SNIP]

However, by running pdfmod with XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR and XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR set makes it work again.

Thanks for the report!  I've fixed this in master - it'll be in the next release.
