"Circuit" filter crashes with large images
Last modified: 2018-05-24 19:12:09 UTC
If I try to run the "Circuit" filter (Filters->Render->Circuit) on a large image, it crashes with the following error: GIMP Error Plug-in crashed: "maze.exe" (C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\maze.exe) The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. Circuit Warning Error while executing script-fu-circuit: Error: ( : 1) Procedure execution of plug-in-maze failed on invalid input arguments: Procedure 'plug-in-maze' returned no return values GIMP Warning Plug-In 'Circuit' left image undo in inconsistent state, closing open undo groups. The size of the image required to reproduce the error varies, depending on how long I've had Gimp open, and if I exit and restart Gimp, it goes up a bit, but just now, it crashed with a 1600 X 1600 image. It also might be limited to the Windows version of Gimp. I reported the problem on the Gimp Learn web site (www.gimplearn.net), and someone running Gimp under Ubuntu was unable to reproduce the problem. However, someone running under Windows 10 was able to reproduce it. I'm running under Windows 7 (64-bit).
P.S. I'm running Gimp v2.8.22.
I can confirm it does not crash on fedora 64, with a 3500 x 3500px image.
I can confirm this crashes on Windows 7 with 2.8.22.
Does this still happen in 2.10-0-RC2?
I don't know, I'm still using 2.8.22, the latest stable release. Have you tried it? I don't know why it wouldn't still happen, unless someone has fixed it. The problem is easy to replicate, just try running the filter on any image sufficiently large (the exact limit seems to vary, depending on the configuration of the computer). It also seems to happen with the Maze filter (Filters/Render/Pattern/Maze...), which the Circuit filter calls.
