Try g_clear_error(&error) instead of g_error_free(error) to get the effect you want. If you have a modern compiler/GLib, you can use g_autoptr() as well. I usually avoid this with GError though, in case it gets used in multiple paths. -- Christian _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
