LC8 Crash while importing JPG image

Post by capellan » Sun Mar 15, 2015 6:12 pm

Hi All,

Please verify if this crash happens in your platform
while importing a JPG image into a stack created
in LC8:

Write in the message box:
create stack

After the new stack appears, write in the message box:
create image

Now, using the Pointer Tool, select the (invisible) image
in the center of the stack and in the Menu Object,
select Object Properties...

In the Object Properties palette, click
the Source button [...] and select a JPG image

LiveCode 8 hangs and become unresponsive.

PNG and Animated GIF imports fine, without problems
and (surprise) Animated GIF could be scaled (up and down) nicely! :D

Hi Alejandro,

I've moved this topic to 'Bug Triage' - the LiveCode Builder forum is for discussing the LCB language, writing widgets and libraries in LCB, and any problems arising from those particular parts of the system.

Please file bugs that you find in the Quality Center, or if you aren't sure something is a bug then the Bug Triage forum is where people can help track more general problems down.

Thanks!

Mark.

@capellan: I've tried this on Mac and it appears to be fine - so it could be either a specific JPEG image, or perhaps platform-specific.

Hi Alejandro,
Using your recipe I can confirm the IDE lock up while importing a jpeg image.

Win 7, liveCode 8.0
