Crash on scanning FLAC file with no tags
Last modified: 2014-11-06 16:09:54 UTC
Created attachment 290060 [details] A short test tone FLAC file with no tags. I'm using the unstable EasyTAG from the developer's PPA -- https://launchpad.net/~amigadave/+archive/ubuntu/easytag-unstable -- per https://mail.gnome.org/archives/easytag-list/2014-November/msg00001.html This version is labeled 2.3.1 in the about dialog. Here's how to make EasyTAG 2.3.1 crash: 1. Create a FLAC audio file (I used Audacity to make a short audio file of a test tone and I've attached this file). Specify that no tags are filled in (in Audacity, simply accept the default set of empty tags and Audacity won't write any tags). 2. Verify that the FLAC file has no tags listed: metaflac --list --block-type=VORBIS_COMMENT foobar.flac should return "comments: 0". 3. Put the FLAC file in a folder and open that folder with EasyTAG: mkdir foobarfolder mv foobar.flac foobarfolder/ easytag foobarfolder EasyTAG 2.3.1 crashes when scanning the file.
Thanks for the bug report. I fixed the crash when there are empty FLAC tags in master as 6a17785ed0dfcdb1638aafd1227bc5c8e649d3ba.
