It is of course unacceptable that a broken script crashes GIMP. That is why it is absolutely necessary that you open a bug report for this problem on bugzilla.gnome.org and attach the script that causes the problem there. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem yet, but given a bug-report it will eventually be fixed.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4: Crashing on Script-Fu Menu?
I had a theory that the blurb building was killing GIMP, so I modified the script to make the description a single line. It now works. The reasoning for a multi-line description was to give valuable information in the Procedure Browser. Now the information is the single-line blurb, which is practically useless. :(( Why it worked in Ubuntu versus Windows is a mystery I leave to the developers. However, it illustrates why I never released the script to the repository. I cannot test scripts except on my machines and it worked up 'til Windows 2.4. Without broad testing, running a script is a crapshoot. The thought that my script would mysteriously hose someone's GIMP is a huge barrier to wide release.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4: Crashing on Script-Fu Menu?
Hi, I'll email you the script separately since I do not know if the list takes attachments. But, I would guess that it is not the script because it works well in v2.4 (candidate) in Ubuntu. It does not appear to be the script, because it doesn't execute. All I do is open the menu and mouse down so as to want to run a script. I realize GIMP is displaying a blurb in the window footer about the script; perhaps there is something crashing the blurb.

This also causes a crash. It would be very useful if you could make this script available so that we can isolate the problem and fix it.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 2.4: Crashing on Script-Fu Menu?
I have used Gimp 2.4 (beta candidate) on my Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon install and this morning upgraded my Windows XP install from 2.2 to 2.4. When I access the Script-Fu menu and move the mouse pointer down to select a script, Gimp dies an inglorious death. "gimp-2.4.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." To test, I deleted all the user scripts except one that works on the Ubuntu install. This also causes a crash. I am not running a script, I am merely highlighting a menu item. I did not uninstall v2.2, thinking that the installer would detect the existing program and update it or delete it if necessary. Could this be the problem? Any ideas? Dave ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
