Hans? Can you review this? Re: Dia freeze up

[Michael Ross]

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

 you are seeing more freezes with Dia 0.97.2 than with Dia 0.97.1?)

  Running 0.97.2 on Win7

 Are you using the antialiased (cairo) rendering? If so the probabilty of
 freezes might be reduced by switching to the non-antialiased.


  This happens nearly every time I use Dia.   I have not kept good track

Re: Hans? Can you review this? Re: Dia freeze up

[Michael Ross]

More info on the problem.

I have been drawing a lot of zigzag lines with radiused corners - so there
is arc calculation going on.

There is some sort of calculation on the fly when you rubber band the
zigzig line - in certain conditions it reduces the arc radius(ii).  Under
some conditions there may be a divide by zero messing things up.  Just a
guess.

Maybe I will try creating no corners with radii until it is all placed and
then edit the properties.

Put this question to yourself: should I use everyone else to attain
happiness, or should I help others gain happiness?
