Description Justin 2004-12-21 05:43:47 UTC 
Click file, and then open - program tries to open the 'open' dialogue box, but 
crashes with the generic 'sorry but this program needs to close' message. The 
program doesn't crash when creating a new document, or opening an existing 
document from the 'existing document' list. It also worked OK the first time 
after installation - but has stopped working since.

Most likely a duplicate of bug #161797.

Comment 3 Tor Lillqvist 2004-12-29 19:42:44 UTC 
I don't think this necessarily is a duplicate of bug #161797 . That is about 
UNC paths, but we don't know the details of this bug.
Comment 4 Tor Lillqvist 2004-12-29 19:44:48 UTC 
Most likely this bug is in GTK anyway, not GIMP.
Comment 5 Tor Lillqvist 2004-12-29 20:02:51 UTC 
To Justin: We need more information. Does the crash happen whenever you try to 
open a file? Or just for some files? What is the full path to some file that 
causes this crash? Where is your GIMP installed?
Comment 6 Justin 2004-12-29 22:17:33 UTC 
I'm not sure this is a GTK problem simply because I've uninstalled GIMP 2.4 
and installed 2.0.5 in its place, which works with the latest GTK available. 
The problem only seemed to occur when it tried to activate the 'open document' 
dialogue box - but not when directly opening recent file from the 'open 
recent' menu option. I'll reinstall the 2.4 today and let you know the rest.
Comment 7 Tor Lillqvist 2004-12-29 22:27:23 UTC 
There is no GIMP 2.4. You presumably mean 2.2? Anyway, GIMP 2.2 uses the 
GtkFileChooser, while GIMP 2.0 uses the GtkFileSelector.
Comment 8 Justin 2004-12-29 23:35:26 UTC 
yeah it was 2.2, sorry for the typo. i'll keep you posted with the reinstall
Comment 9 Justin 2004-12-29 23:38:27 UTC 
>>yeah it was 2.2, sorry for the typo. i'll keep you posted with the reinstall\

...or should I wait until the 2.2.1 becomes available?
Comment 10 Justin 2004-12-29 23:48:23 UTC 
OK, just reinstalled 2.2 - once again, the open window works on first boot of 
the program. I opened a file in 'my pictures' and all is good. Restarted 
program, went to File>Open, and the program stalls and crashes 5 seconds 
later. I'm using WinXP professional, and the problem occurs when I'm hooked up 
to the workplace domain, as well as on my home connection.
Comment 11 Tor Lillqvist 2005-04-09 06:51:23 UTC 
Sorry, but you must supply more information for us to be able to solve this...
Do you have any "unusual" devices connected to your machine? Do you have any
dead drive letter connections? Etc.
Comment 12 Tor Lillqvist 2006-12-28 18:33:02 UTC 
Is this still a problem? Please try to reproduce with the latest stable GIMP and GTK+.

No response, closing.
