UFRaw 0.18 plugin crashes when the UFRaw window is moved
Last modified: 2012-11-11 20:16:42 UTC
UFRaw plugin crashes when moving the window if GIMP 2.8.2 is installed. When moving the UFRaw window on screen, the plug-in crashes with the message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime error! Program C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\ufraw.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. This does NOT happen with GIMP 2.8.0 installed. This problem goes away when reverting to from GIMP 2.8.2 to 2.8.0. This problem is known to occur in Windows XP and Windows Vista, probably Windows 7, too.
Have you also reported this against UFRaw? I don't see a way GIMP could cause this.
Also, does this happen with any other plug-in?
Thank you, John, for reporting this. I could also reproduce it on Win7, but it took me some preparations and I think they point to the cause of the problem: 1. After installing UFRAW like described on [1], adding the UFRAW plugins path to GIMP plugin folder preferences and restarting: GIMP doesn't recognize it. 2. I then copied UFRAWs bin folder to GIMPs bin folder and UFRAWs lib/gimp/2.0 folder to the plugin folder in $USERDIR/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins. In both steps Windows asked me to replace some dll files in the GIMP directories with older ones from UFRAW. This shows that the cause are the older dll files from UFRAW that don't work well with GIMP. As the cause is not in GIMP and the UFRAW plugin isn't shipped with GIMP, the GIMP developers are the wrong counterparts for you. Please report the problem to the author of UFRAW. A workaround until this is fixed is to reinstall GIMP 2.8.2 (to get rid of the inappropriate dll files) and use the standalone UFRAW to convert the RAW files to another image format for GIMP.
