open dialog: crash while tempting to access directory
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:52:51 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. trying to access a directory using the "explore" interface: for most of them : no problem but for a piece of others, there's no way accessing the directory 2. 3. Stack trace: message window : PANGO error file shape.c line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed (glyphs->numglyphs >0) aborting... Other information: I'm working on windows 2000 Pro OS. the application closed after that
This bug has already been reported (numerous times). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 301139 ***
I've read the bug301139 but it seems not to be resolved at the moment: is there any way to access those folders who crasched, temporarly before it is definitly resolved? Thanks
There are at least two possible approaches. First, you can get pango-1.8.0.zip from http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html (in "Bleeding edge versions") and see whether that helps. Second, because it is a font-related problem, you could try changing fonts.
I installed pango 1.8 but it didn't succeed in preventing crash. I hadn't tried before to change the font in the preferences of gimp: didn't find "fonts" but "themes" : I changed my preferencial theme from "default" to "small" and it seems to solve the problem: i can now access those folders that made crash before. Hope it can help. Thanks for your help
