Hi! I wonder why this bug was downgraded from grave to important. I'm experiencing this bug as well, in squeeze, and it really does render the program unusable.
Once you've opened certain directory, rawstudio won't ever open unless you edit ~/.gconf/apps/rawstudio/%gconf.xml and remove the last_working_directory entry. I found this surprising message in the rawstudio page: === Troubleshooting: If RAWstudio can not be started from the GUI menu anymore, then try using the command line. Open a terminal and enter ‘rawstudio’. It should be in your PATH. If this results in a ‘segmentation fault’ (which rarely happens) you should open rawstudio from the command line again using root privileges. Then try to open the last directory you used. If rawstudio suddenly closes, you have found the directory that’s been giving problems. If not, try another directory. It should be the last directory you used. Once you’ve found the ‘problem’ directory go to the command prompt, navigate to the ‘problem’ directory and recursively remove the directory ‘.rawstudio’ inside it (rm -rf .rawstudio). After this, you should be able to start RAWstudio from the GUI menu again like before. === I find a bit shocking, that instead of finding a bug and fixing it, they propose a workaround, to something that seems to be evidently a common problem. However, this the solution proposed does not work in my case. I found the problematic directory, then deleted the .rawstudio dir with no change in the symptoms. I had to edit the file mentioned earlier in order to be able to keep using rawstudio. Re-opening the problematic dir caused the same trouble, so I realized that there was something in that dir that made rawstudio segfault. What I was able to trace was that there was a file that had a .cr2 (or CR2) extension but JFIF file format: $ file test2/_MG_64952.cr2 test2/_MG_64952.cr2: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01 I don't know why this file go the wrong extension, but when that file was present, I got a segfault trying to open the directory. If I removed or changed the name of the file to .jpg (or JPG), then it worked alright. So, apparently the problem is that rawstudio is trying to open the raw files according to their extension, regardless of their file format. And when a .cr2 file is not really a raw file, it segfaults. I think this is indeed a grave bug, that should be fixed for stable, because users with less patience and computer skills won't be able to ever use rawstudio again, after it hitting one such file. I'll try to investigate the code next. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
