Hans, Been having a lot of crashes today. In a temp folder I found a text file called:
dia1-0.97.2 The following is at the bottom of the file when it starts up; ?-Warning: Cannot open icon file C:\Users\Michael Ross\.dia\shapes\gradient\white_gray_horzontal.png for object type 'Gradient - White-Gray (horizontal)'. After freezing, but before I kill it I see this at the end of file: ?-Warning: Cannot open icon file C:\Users\Michael Ross\.dia\shapes\gradient\white_gray_horzontal.png for object type 'Gradient - White-Gray (horizontal)'. Gdk-Warning: gdkdrawable-win32.c:885: Arc failed: Arithmetic result exceeded 32 bits. Gdk-Warning: gdkdrawable-win32.c:1249: LineTo failed: Arithmetic result exceeded 32 bits. I will see if it is a regular occurrence now that I know where to look. Is this pertinent? After I kill the process tree, this temp file is closed, not saved, it evaporates. Thanks for any help you can give, Mike On Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 5:26 PM, Hans Breuer <h...@breuer.org> wrote: > At 12.09.2012 00:46, Michael Ross wrote: > >> I never did find a temp file.
