Broken document created.
Hey guys,
I was doing a teaching session on Inkscape for the Ubuntu User Days a few days ago. As with almost every show-and-tell, something went wrong. This was Inkscape 0.47 for Ubuntu 10.10 and the document that I created from scratch caused inkscape to crash.
What's interesting is that the image was saved by the crash protection save feature. And although the image can be opened by gnome and seen in firefox, opening it in Inkscape 0.47 causes it to crash again.
I'd like to know if the crash still exists in Inkscape 0.48, which unfortunately isn't available for Ubuntu yet. If it still exists, I'll report a bug and we'll get it nailed.
If you're interested in what I did to cause the problem, it's all recorded in the live session: http://livestre.am/AWfN Crash is at about 00:37:10
Best Regards, Martin Owens
Wasn't 0.48 in 10.10? On Jan 30, 2011 2:28 PM, "Martin Owens" <doctormo@...400...> wrote:

Do you still have the file available? Could you attach it? I watched the related part of the recorded session 3 times but I can't tell what exactly happened. A backtrace and any console messages from Inkscape when it crashes trying to reopen the broken file might be helpful.
Also - since the crash happened when you started to draw a path with the calligraphy tool - did you use a tablet?

I uploaded it but forgot to include the link... there must be a better way of doing that sort of thing.
I also meant 0.48 and 0.48.1 respectively.
Sorry for the confusion.

AFAICT fixed for 0.48.1:
Bug #511577 segfault in sp_shape_update_marker_view() https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/511577
Crash reproduced with Inkscape 0.48.0 on OS X 10.5.8 (same console message and bt as in bug #511577)
Not reproduced with current trunk (0.48+devel r10019) and with a build from 0.48.x (r9752)

This path - last added to the document - causes the crash when loading the file:
Removing the marker from the style attribute allows the file to open without crash even in 0.48.0.
In current trunk (r10019) and 0.48.x (r9752), I could trigger a different crash though, when trying to node-edit the path (which has no path data), and <Tab> through the nodes:

Thanks suv, as promised:

p.s. I was using a pen.

I tried to reproduce the initial crash when drawing the calligraphic path, but didn't succeed so far (no tablet/pen available here either).
Possibly it was related to the earlier attempts editing the style attributes to get rid of the marker on the rectangle (or from the 'current style' setting) - you certainly tripped over this bug first:
Bug #420202 Rectangle start marker - cannot turn of https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/420202
though I'm not aware that the combination of markers (from the current style setting) and a calligraphic path can trigger a crash which then results in a corrupt path (without path data) in the emergency-saved file.
