Post subject: | Plugin directory issue |
Whenever I try to use a plugin which require you to find a file in a directory, I get an error message that says "pythonw.exe has stopped working", followed by two more error messages: "Plug-in crashed: "<plugin file name>" (<plug in location>) The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side." and "Unable to run GimpPdbProgress callback. The corresponding plug-in may have crashed." I've tried scripts I've written myself, and scripts from others. For example, if I try to use the tutorial script "exampleJpgToXcf" this is what'll happen: I click on the plugin in the menu and open the dialog for that plugin, where it asks me to choose a directory. However, when I click on anything in the dropdown menu for the directory the plugin will crash. Plugins which don't require me to choose a directory work fine. Any ideas? I use GIMP version 2.8.14 on Windows 7. |

It's the python interpreter that runs the plugin... |

When you say "Gimp 2.8.14" ..is that the official Gimp 2.8.14 from the official download site (http://www.gimp.org/downloads/)? Or did you get some nasty third-party package from a dubious source? |

As far as I know, I use the interpreter that come with Gimp. jontait2 wrote: When you say "Gimp 2.8.14" ..is that the official Gimp 2.8.14 from the official download site?

I figured out the issue. I have to include "/tmp" at the end of the PF_DIRNAME register line, or else it'll crash. |

Hi, It seems that GIMP Windows build has 'an horror of void'! Since you brought my attention to this, I tried " " ("[space]") with good result in Linux and Windows. But seems any valid character(s) will do. |

After thinking about it, change the line to use Code: Select all os.getcwd() Code: Select all (PF_DIRNAME, "directory", "Directory", os.getcwd()), Thanks Feather for posting your problem that enabled this solution discovery . |
