Category: Crasher/nasty bug Group: Latest release Status: Open Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Pixelgeek (pxegeek) Summary: Crash when opening files on windows Initial Comment: Every time i try to open some samples, particularly warpcube and warptext (the ones i tested) Synfig crashes showing in console window the folowing message: synfig(2256) [time of day] info: Loading modules from ../etc/synfig_modules.cfg Needless to say that this file/folder does not exist on windows, so i guess somebody forgot to change some line of code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2010-07-13 15:28 Message: Hi pxegeek, I installed the downloaded synfigstudio package in the windows 'default' location - C:\Program Files\ but changed the name of the synfig directory to NewSynfig. Installation location is C:\Program Files\NewSynfig. I then started synfigstudio.exe from the bin library. At this point I was interrupted, and had to shutdown and go do something else. To my utter amazement, the next time I tried to open ...\examples\warptext.sifz, it displayed on the canvas as if it had never done anything else. (i.e. Crashed) I am sure that there was some dependency within the Synfig GTK+ etc. installation chain that caused another level of one of the Synfig packaged components to be up/down-levelled. Currently everything is working as expected Adding text, or a new text layer, and double clicking a *.sifz which contains text layers works like a charm. Thank you very much for kind attention. Sorry if I caused you any sleepless nights. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Pixelgeek (pxegeek) Date: 2010-07-09 03:20 Message: I don't know where the "procedure suggested to other users" is written - Start>Cmd <enter> CD C:\Program Files\Synfig\bin <enter> synfigstudio.exe <enter> -------> this will cause the problems you are seeing with the icons not showing up. Running it from Start Menu -> Synfig -> Synfig Studio should give you the icons. The other thing I noticed in your screen shot is that you installed Synfig in a Graficos subdirectory under Program Files x86. Can you try just letting it install to the default location and see if that makes a difference? As Genete notes, all the main GTK dependencies are in the Synfig install package now, so you shouldn't need to worry about any others. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Genete (genete) Date: 2010-06-13 19:16 Message: Since Synfig 0.62.00 all the needed components of Synfig are installed with the installer. I'm sure that it is a problem of the freefont libraries. For some reason in your system that library is not found. I'm now used to deal with windows configuration because it is not my native OS. I've installed and run Synfig Studio in a W7 32 bits in a virtual machine and runs without troubles. Maybe pixelgeek can have other idea. Sorry for not being so helpful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: DizzyG (bdgillespie) Date: 2010-06-13 14:13 Message: Hello genete, well it does not work for me, not in 62.00 nor 62.01. and I get a crash when opening a new Text layer on my canvas also. I have done the business with starting synfigstudio in a windows command window, and I have a 15KB text file. I will try to attach it to this Artifact. Best wishes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Genete (genete) Date: 2010-06-12 10:33 Message: Please provide Synfig Studio version and Windows version. Also please, try to install the latest release and be sure that the Single Threaded Renderer checkbox is enabled in the Settings dialogue from Toolbox (Miscellaneous tab). We have successfully loaded those files in a windows environment with the latest release. The message: Loading modules from ../etc/synfig_modules.cfg is normal and is not an error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=3014994&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
