Greetings, Michael Ross!
You may not know that in English the word complaint means the expression of dissatisfaction. The way have stated it, it could be assumed you just want to complain. But, I am sure that is not the case; more than likely you really hope to get some help, not to merely complain about it.
In regard to the crash, it is complaint. Program should not crash. (Basic sentence teachers were hammering into our heads since high school.) It may close, as per request, or gracefully shutdown in absence of better choices, but not say "oops, I crashed" and disappear. --------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library --------------------------- Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\Dia\bin\diaw.exe This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information. --------------------------- ?? --------------------------- That's all I got. To me, it's precisely fall into latter category.
Assuming you do want help, you will need to provide more specific information about the failure. Since it is a crash on startup, you should state the version of Dia and detailed information about your computer and OS. Anything you have done differently from the installation instructions could be important. You might try a reboot, and/or reinstall. Remove or undo the offending action and see it it gets better. Report about this activity.
This may not be a problem of Dia.
Pretty sure it is. If I didn't mention the steps I made to make sure it's not my fault, this doesn't mean I didn't do anything of that.
To me the statement, "launch Dia with a shape icon set to SVG drawing," does not make sense. You may wish to restate with more detail.
Get a shape. Any shape. Set it's icon to an SVG drawing. Place that shape into Dia shapes registry. Dia crash at startup. Isn't that what I said?
You might want to discuss what have you tried yourself to remedy the situation.
Since I don't know C/C++, I can't realistically do anything, short of reporting the problem.
What documents have you looked at for guidance. You could post the shape file itself.
Sure. Catch it in attachment. The shape in question is System-Binary.shape and corresponding Binary.svg drawing. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon freemail ru) 01.10.2011, <03:09> Sorry for my terrible english...
