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

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.

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
