This issue may have been around for a while, but I just ran into it. I
have some shapefiles for which I created .qml files in the past using
1.6.0-Copiapo. The shapefiles and the .qml files reside in the same
directory. When I try to load these shapefiles with 1.7.3 ($ qgis
fred.shp) , I get this error:
Fatal: ASSERT: "pfi.exists()" in file
/jah/qgis-1.7.3/src/core/qgsproject.cpp, line 1382
Aborted
and QGIS goes away.
Looking at the code, I see:
// so this one isn't absolute, but also doesn't start // with ./ or
../.
// That means that it was saved with an earlier version of
"relative path support",
// where the source file had to exist and only the project
directory was stripped
// from the filename.
QFileInfo pfi( fileName() );
Q_ASSERT( pfi.exists() );
Deleting the .qml file allows the shapefile to be loaded so it's not a
huge problem, but it took me a few minutes to figure out what was
causing the crash.
Wouldn't a warning dialog be more appropriate here than a full abort?
