Re: [Gimp-developer] gtk.FileChooserButton crashes on Windows....

[Ragnar Brynjúlfsson <ragtag ragtag net>]

Anyone have any suggestions for this?

I've tried to figure it out, but with no luck. The Python version in GImp
2.8.10 on Windows that i have is 2.7.5, while the one on Linux is 2.7.3.
The bug only shows up in Gimp under Windows (tried XP and 8.1), in Gimp
2.8.8 and Gimp 2.8.10, but not in Gimp 2.8.4.

I tried using gtk.settings, to pre-set the settings it complains about, but
that did nothing. Also, I don't know if these warning have anything to do
with it crashing. If I run the gtk.FileChooserDialog command twice in the
Python console, it only complains the first time I run it.

Then I did find a workaround, which is to click the FileChooserButton, and
then use the arrow keys and return, to select from the menu...which
actually works. So it's only when you click something in the pop-up menu,
that it crashes.

This breaks my Gimp Book ( http://ragnarb.com/toolbox/gimp-book/ ) plug-in
when run on Windows, so I'm hoping to find a solution for this. Either
using FileChooserButton, or replacing it with a simple button that just
opens the FileChooserDialog on Windows if possible.

I'm hoping to find a solution to this, as this breaks my Gimp Book plug-in
for Windows users.

Any ideas?
