GTK file dialog causes crash

Hello community,
I am experiencing a weird problem since I upgraded this afternoon. The upgrade itself went smooth and didnt break any package. I checked the latest mirrors an found out my system is perfectly up to date.
Unfortunately, the GTK file dialog seems broken. Trying to use this dialog causes a crash in firefox, epdfview, gimp and inkscape. Thunar doesn't start at all, not leaving, like all other mentioned programs, anything useful behind in the terminal. They just crash immediately. Qt file dialog works (tested in arora).
Any idea what (i. e. what package) causes this problem?
thanks in advance, joe

Thank you for the reply.
I found my problem.
There was a \r\n appended to part of my default file name which caused it to cancel the file dialog.
The filename was CT_TE5000001\r\n.xlsm instead of the desired CT_TE5000001.xlsm.

Finder in Save file dialog Safari crash

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard at launch, Safari 4 doesn't seem to like me searching in the save file dialog box. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not I actually save the file, and I made a screen recording to show what happens here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFKkPI2vGr8
I've reset Safari, and I repaired my disk permissions after loading up Snow Leopard. What gives? This is really annoying when I want to get to a folder fast, and dragging and dropping image files to folders seems to cause them to open in different Preview windows (or not even open at all).
Any help would be much appreciated. This is seriously making me consider going back to Firefox or just going with Chrome - this crash doesn't happen with either of them!

The problems are caused by third party input managers/enhancers that have not yet been updated by their developers to comply with the standards used by Safari 3.2.1. and/or Safari 4.
In your case these are:
com.zang.RegexKit 0.6.0 (0.6.0) <71374A4A-3B24-4759-E994-AB9E135345CB> /Library/InputManagers/Safari AdBlock/Safari AdBlock Loader.bundle/Contents/PlugIns/Safari AdBlock.bundle/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/RegexKit.framework/Versions/A/Regex Kit
You fill find them in one or either of these folders:
Home/Library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/library/Input Managers
Hard Disk/Library/Application Support
although the exact location is indicated in your crash report as quoted above - look under 'Binary Images'.
Close Safari and delete them, then restart Safari and it should be working normally. Alternatively drag them to the desktop and restart Safari. then add them back one at a time, restarting Safari every time, until you find the one (or more) causing the crash.
Check with the developers of the plug-ins in question for updates that are Safari 4 compliant.

Wiring the default name on File Dialog causes an error 43

LabView 8.5 Pro:
I placed an express file dialog on my diagram. I wired the start path and ran my vi. As expected the open file dialog box appears, however if I wire the default name to the vi the dialog box does not display and generates an error 43. The default file name I am wiring is CT_TE5000001.xlsm. This was working fine on my previous LabView 6.1. I didn't see any entries on the known bug list. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you for the reply.

Using DW CS6 and PS CS6 "file info" causes crash+freeze

Each time I try to use "File Info" in Photoshop or Dreamweaver CS6, a freeze, or crash is the result, and must force quit. Can't seem to find any specifics using keyword search of similar problem.
The only thing I've done different lately is I've had to work with some 1.5+ GB images. Six MB ram held up okay, only slowing on some filters and a few tools, specifically the clone tool.
Mac Pro (Early 2009)
6 GB 1066 MHz
OS X 10.8.5
Thanks in advance...

Did find from your path directions; however, the date of the last report is from 04/21/2013 and don't remember what activity was taking place, only that these recent freezes on using "File/File Info" repeatedly has only occurred over the last two days.
As I stated previously, I had to physically initiate a "force quit" the application when above action opened a blank window with the only function available to me being the "expand" green icon button, and was not asked to submit crash report. Therefore, I'm assuming now, if no report goes out to Adobe, then none is saved in the crash report logs.
Your response is helpful though in expanding my personal knowledge base, as I had never had a reason to research said reports up to this time. Over my twenty years of using Mac's and Adobe products for my personal use I've had remarkably few serious incidents.
I certainly couldn't gain any information from viewing the report. HTML and CSS I'm comfortable with, but this (system inner workings) might as well be written in Latin.
I do thank you for your attempt to help, and as I said, I have learned a little bit more; just not enough to attempt brain surgery yet.

Some qt only programs are crashing opening the "Open File" dialog

Hello Archers,
I'm having some trouble to find out what's crausing the crashes, so i can properly fill a bug report upstream.
Here is the issue:
* After an upgrade from glibc 2.13-5 to glibc 2.14-4, some qt-only apps are crashing when i open the "Open File" dialog. This only happens when using specific KDE 4.6.4 or KDE 4.6.5 styles, like Oxygen and QtCurve.
* Before i upgrade KDE from 4.6.4 to 4.6.5, i downgraded glibc and its dependencies to glibc 2.13-5 and the bug was gone. After upgrading KDE to 4.6.5, i didn't try the downgrade again because KDE 4.6.5 requires glibc 2.14 and the process of downgrading become unsustainable.
* I tried removing the crashing apps data from my home directory and the crash still exists. I also tried to create a new user and start the apps from that new environment and the apps crashes, so the bug is not user-specific.
* I tried replacing the binary nvidia driver with xf86-video-nouveau but the issue persists.
* The apps crashing (and not applying the kde theme) are the following:
=> opera 11.50
When opening the "Open File" dialog, it crashes with the following message:
------------- begin ---------------------------------
$ opera --sync
(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400034 unexpectedly destroyed
(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400033 unexpectedly destroyed
(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x7400032 unexpectedly destroyed
(operapluginwrapper:2349): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x740001c unexpectedly destroyed
The program 'operapluginwrapper' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 547 error_code 3 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
------------- end ---------------------------------
=> vlc 1.1.10
When opening the "Open Directory" dialog, it crashes with the following message:
------------- begin ---------------------------------
$ vlc
VLC media player 1.1.10 The Luggage (revision exported)
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_ADDRESS")
Blocked: call to unsetenv("DBUS_ACTIVATION_BUS_TYPE")

[0x97e28fc] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
Blocked: call to setlocale(6, "")
Segmentation fault
------------- end ---------------------------------
* Using other qt-only apps, like qmmp or UMPlayer the bug doesn't occur.
So, what do you thing of this? Am i the only one with this issue? I already reported the bug report on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24991 and https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/, but since i latter found out that this is not opera specific, i don't know where to fill the report.
Thanks in advance.

i had to install vlc and opera to test - but i'm afraid i don't get the errors you are seeing.
so far, qt designer is the only application i've found that crashes when opening file dialogs.
Ok, thanks for helping.

Illustrator CS3 crashes in "Open file" dialog when making a copy of a file

Hi!
I have a user, who has quite a weird problem. We use the Design Standard CS3 package, since we can't afford to upgrade all 20 users to CS5 right now.
The problem occurs in Illustrator, when she goes to the "Open File" dialog. She often makes copies of files in there (ctrl+c, ctrl+v), so she has a backup of the file she's currently working on. Why she won't use Explorer to do that, I can't say.. she said something about it being easier this way.
The problem is, that often when she presses ctrl+v Illustrator crashes without warning. Usually when Illustrator crashes there's a warning about not enough memory, an error report or stuff like that, but none of that happens. It's fully patched (13.0.2), and there's no problem with the Print Spooler or the default printer.
I'm unable to replicate it on my computer, unfortunately, so I'm turning to you. Have any of you ever heard about this, seen it somewhere - and do you know what causes it?
Best regards,
Thomas

Sorry, forgot to add that she's running Windows XP SP3, fully updated, 32-bit on a HP Z400 Workstation.

File dialog crashes LabVIEW 2014 on Mac OSX Yosemite

I know that Mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite) is not technically supported by LabVIEW 2014. If that's the only answer to this question, then so be it.
The following causes LabVIEW 2014 to crash on Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite):
1. Run the native File Dialog in LabVIEW 2014 (Express VI) , using "New or Existing File" as the selection mode
2. Select "New File..." when the file dialog appears
3. Enter anything as the file name and click OK
4. LabVIEW either crashes immediately, or hangs indefinitely and must be force quit.
Is there an update for LV 2014 (and the RTE) that does support Yosemite?
This bug makes deploying apps to the Mac basically impossible, Yosemite is the latest OS. Does anyone have a workaround for the issue?
Thanks.

LabVIEW 2014 SP1 seems to solve that problem here on my Mac OSX 10.10 system.
Now Apple may be nice for end users, but all those Apple fan boys sure would think a little different about it, if they had to write programs on the Mac. Apple keeps changing its APIs and their behaviour continously, inventing new APIs (which is fine) in a rapid pace, only to depreciate and remove older APIs at almost the same speeed!
Microsoft sometimes goes to the other extreme with maintaining backwards compatibility but working with Apple systems surely isn't easy as a programmer (unless maybe when one uses their high level click and point together web design applications, but I don't know that).

[SOLVED] Chromium crashes everytime I choose a file in the file dialog

Title says all. And it doesn't even need to be a file dialog from Chromium itself. If I trigger a file dialog elsewhere, Chromium also crashes. I only have a slightest idea that it has something to do with GTK+ (or with oxygen-gtk), but that's all I've got.
Any ideas?
Last edited by R_Rios (2012-12-17 04:06:36)

So, I just ran the gtk-kde4 kcm module and the theme field was empty for some reason. Just selecting a theme (oxygen-gtk, if that matters) seems to have solved my issue.

When I hit the escape key to close out the open file dialog box, firefox hangs or crashes.

When I open the "open file" dialog box using the ctrl+O and then hit the escape key to exit the box, I get an error message which I'm not able to paste here.
it says something about a runtime problem and if I try the same thing again to reproduce the problem, it will sometimes just hang and windows vista will tell me the program is not responding.
I've checked to see if there are any crash IDs but none were found for this time frame.
I have even disabled all add ons.
I'm currently using vista 64 bit edition and Firefox 6, beta edition.

Hi,
Please also try right-clicking on the link corresponding to the language version and '''Save Target As''' to save the Firefox installer. If the problem persists, posting [http://answers.microsoft.com/ here] would also be helpful.

File open/save dialog causes SPOD with 10.10.3

Just updated to 10.10.3 from 10.10.2 using the combo updater (after hearing stories of people being hosed by the normal updater and having success once the combo was applied).
Now, however, I find that whenever any application needs to open or save a file, and the directory selected in the dialog has a LOT of files (like 10K files), I get a SPOD (spinning pinwheel of death) for minutes. MINUTES. This never happened on any previous iteration of any MacOS. This is on a MBP late-2013 with 16GB of RAM and a SSD.
Already repaired permissions. Checked the filesystem with Disk Utility. It's OK.
This is really debilitating.
I have a saved process sample output from Safari while it was in SPOD mode with the file dialog open. I can upload this if would be interesting to anyone. NOTE: just attempting to save this sample trace from within Activity Monitor caused that application to SPOD while it was asking me where to save the sample output.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

"Preview this File" Does Nothing + Blinding GTK+ open file dialogs...

...I have two problems in KDEMod4...did anyone have these problems and how do you fix them?
Right clicking a file and clicking "Preview this File" does nothing...including folder views, Konqueror, and Dolphin.
GTK+ open file dialogs alternate between the normal background for my text box and blindingly white background.

Hi,
I also have the same problem, but with my JNI and C++ expertise, I was able to isolate the problem.
My platform:
- Microsoft Windows XP, Family Edition (French), Version 2002, Service Pack 3
- JRE 1.6.0_21
In the source of the JDK6 (Src/windows/classes/sun/awt/windows/WDesktopPeer.java), the Desktop.open(file) calls the native method
ShellExecute(*uri.toString()*, "open")
For example, if you try to open "c:\helloworld.pdf",
uri.toString() = "*file:/c:/helloworld.pdf*"if I call ShellExecute("C:\\helloworld.pdf", "open"), it works
but if I call ShellExecute(" file:/c:/helloworld.pdf", "open"), it doesn't work on my platform.
In both case, the ShellExecuteW or ShellExecuteA function of the Windows API return the integer 42 (> 32), saying that the functions succeeded. If the file object is not correct, the function should return a value <= 32.
=> The bug is not due to Java implementation, but to a bug in the Windows API.
Other remark:
I also tried the "ShellExec_RunDLL" entry point of the Shell32.dll library using RunDll32 utility. Both commands below are running correctly:
rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL "C:\hello.pdf"
rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL "file:/C:/hello.pdf"My conclusion:
1) A workaround could be implemented in the JRE: use the file path without the "file:/" protocol prefix.
2) This bug seems to be present only one some version of Windows XP (to confirm).

After updateting to 9.3 specific files causing crash when print starts

After updating to 9.3 some files, not all, are no more possible to print without crashing acrobat.
One example you can find here:
http//europe/giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga_ep45_ds3(r)_de.pdf
Error:
arobat.exe 9.3.0.148 with modul ssgs1.dll version 03.0.0 at address 0x00012ea9
(ssgs1 belongs to Samsung printer ML1210)
With 9.2, one week ago, there was no problem.
If I start printing the copmplete file(a couple of pages) the printer starts printing and prints the whole file, but after a couple of seconds acrobat crashes.
Theb print will NOT be stopped, the file will be printed cpompletly with ALL pages.
If I try to print separate and single pages, the FIRST page can be printed without crash.
Any other page will crash acrobat immediatly.
I sepate this error page (take out 1 page) to get a separate pdf file will cause the same problem.
If I copy this page to Word and then save from there as pdf - no error.
Print "as picture" also no problem.
Export to pdf/A (whatever this is) will cause the same problem
Save as ...pdf - same problem
Save as optimized -same problem
Software: "Advanced pdf Repair" will not repair this
This problem was not be be seen with elder version 9.2 last week
This does not happen with ALL pdf files
System: XP SP3
Action taken:
Repair acrobat
Reinstall printer driver

I had to rebuild the thumbnails after the first try, and so on the second try, it cleared up the distortion. However, the photos then had the rotation and out of sequence issue. I certainly can try again. You previously mentioned that it make a few times.
As for the view, they are sorted by date. It is really strange since it is only the photos at the very beginining. These are photos where I had to manually enter the date when adding them to the libary. I wonder if that has anything to do with.
I really appreciate your time and advice. This is pretty unusual for me. I have been using macs since 2004 and never has a software upgrade thrown me for such a loop.
Thanks again.

Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf

Long files hierarchy causes autocad to crash when printing to a pdf.

Tylerdowner,
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

BUG: Importing m3u file (playlist) causes exception and crash

Safari crashing a lot and file dialogs taking time to open

I've been getting daily crashes in Safari. Also, file dialogs from Safari seem to take a long time to open (beachballing).
I haven't had any other programs crashing, including other browsers (FireFox and Chrome).
But Safari has been having problems.
Any ideas what I might look at?
Thanks,
doug

I think the first thing to try would be to go to the Safari menu and "Empty Cache" and "Reset Safari".
If that doesn't do it then you'll probably need to delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file from your User/Library/Preferences.
