GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 519838
GIMP 2.4.4 Crash on Open Location....
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:10:27 UTC
O/S Windows XP SP2 DSL Internet connection On multiple attempts to use Open Location with a URI, on more than one image at more than one website, gimp-24.exe consistently crashed when the Open button was clicked. Attempts were made by copying and pasting the image URI from the browser, and by entering the URI by hand.
Something appears to be broken in the Window build of the URI plug-in.
How did you paste the URL? This could very well be another duplicate of bug #514906.
On second look, you are correct. Apparently there was operator error on my end when I did the initial check. I thought I had done both copy and paste, and manual entry, with crashes in both cases, but I must have fat-fingered something. I have confirmed that the problem only occurs with right-click paste. Manual entry and Ctrl-V paste (after right-click Copy Image Location in Firefox) both work OK. Sorry about that. I'm closing this report, as a duplicate of 514906. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 514906 ***
