Have a look at the code below:

(ui/dialog/filedialogimpl-gtkmm.cpp, lines 208 and onwards)

Glib::RefPtrGdk::Pixbuf img(NULL); try { img = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file(fileName); } catch (Glib::FileError e) { g_message("caught Glib::FileError in SVGPreview::showImage"); return; } catch (Gdk::PixbufError e) { g_message("Gdk::PixbufError in SVGPreview::showImage"); return; }

This should catch the Gdk::PixbufError, right? Or add catch(...) for good measure. Both do *not* catch Gdk::PixbufError. What is happening?

Please have a look at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1679218&gro... d=93438&atid=604306

Thanks for clearing this out, Johan
