Description Robert Hutton 2005-03-04 04:53:34 UTC 
Distribution/Version: 2000

1. Open the GIMP
2. Drag and drop a file from a UNC share to the GIMP toolbox to open it (by UNC
share I mean something like \\servername\sharename\directory).
3. Do a "Save As" either from the menu or by hitting ctrl-shift-s
4. The following error message is printed:

fatal error: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed:
(glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)

Also, if you crop the image before doing the save as, the following error
message is printed:

The instruction at "0x02b3a960" referenced memory at "0x02019a8f". The memory
could not be "read".

If you map a network drive to your share and access the files through that
everything works as expected, so perhaps it is something to do with the save-as
dialog not understanding UNC shares.

OMG, are you Windows users really not capable of looking for duplicates? This is
starting to become annoying...
