MS nightly rev 5659, WIN XP OS crash when open the score that has an embedded PNG image and user click Page Layout->Page Settings...


Comments

Thanks.

I can't seem to reproduce. Perhaps it was fixed - could you try with the latest Windows nightly build (5663)? Is anyone else able to confirm?

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build (5663) - Mac 10.7.4.

I tried on my both PC & Laptop with winXP OS they both have the same problem; crash.
If I remove the PNG image then it's OK.

"Confirm"

Yes - just about every time I drag a transparent PNG to a Nightly Build MuseScore crashes on my Sony Vaio Laptop.

At first I thought it was the Intel video driver, but my netbook uses the same, albeit later version, driver and when I tried it on that it did not crash, updatignt he driver in my sony Vaio merely resulted in degrading the quality of the fonts in the MS UI - the crash still happened.

Using a 24bit PNG ie without transparency works fine - it's the 32bit PNGs with the added Alpha channel which are causing the proplem.

I can't reproduce the crash of #14 with Nightly build rev. 6f98791, nor with personal (debug) build of the same revision: it opens the file and displays fine the image. No crash also when going to Page settings.
Windows XP Professional SP3

For what concerns #13, dragging and dropping an image to a note or rest at the moment seems not to produce anything, BUT the debugger shows that the image has been inserted in the score and if the score is saved and reloaded then the image is shown.

In the case of "000_Deckblatt.mscz" the problem does not seem to lie in the image, but in the fact that there are no staves (the file contains only a vertical frame and an image inside the frame).
Indeed, the crash happens when trying to read the key signature from a 0 segment.
MuseScore 1.3 is able to load the file. MuseScore 2.0 is able to create files with no staves and correctly loads them.
I think this is worth an bug report on its own.

Can we consider this one as solved?
