Really strange! I do not understand this....
After adding the line it crashed often (before adding the line it crashed everytime I treid to reproduce) and now it crashes not anymore....

When Psi crashed the first times the file the last lines were:
loading: [0pity.gif]
loading: [11poke.gif]
loading: [1218.gif]
loading: [22_yikes.gif]
loading: [4_2_109v.gif]
loading: [Oo.gif]
loading: [Ringmaster1.gif]
loading: [SHinPrison.gif]
loading: [StarAerobics.gif]
loading: [StarBender.gif]
loading: [StarBlink.gif]
loading: [StarBow.gif]
Speicherzugriffsfehler       // Segmentation fault I think


I'll investigate tommorow, now I am tired and have to sleep, tomorrow a computer science test... :/

Hope this helps. :) But I think it is stange that the emoticons work as expected if you change only one thing at once.
Just when you click on "Appereance" the file will be read in, when you wait for it until is it read in an dthen click on "emoticons" it will not crash. When you click on "emoticons" while the file is read in and when you can click on the emoticon packs again and then press "ok" Psi crashed everytime. Now it does not crash anymore and I do not know why. :/

Memory access error, to be exact.

Could you please make one more test? Emoticon set can either be a directory or a .jisp file (which, in fact is a ZIP archive). Could you please check whether all files mentioned in icondef.xml file (in directory or inside the .jisp archive) exist?

Yes of course, you are right, I think I was just too tired yesterday.
And when I let Psi crash (it crashes now again btw) in strace then strace says:

--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
I think I was confused because of that, too.

Hm, in the archive are 422 files or so, I think to check every single file by hand is very hard, but I checked the file where Psi crashes and this file exists. I cannot see anything extraordinary with this file...


I will try what happens when I remove that file and will upgrade to QT 4.4 final release in just a moment, it just came in into Debian SID...

An intermediate result: With QT 4.4 final (+ a few in Debian integrated patches...) Psi still crashes.
When I remove the file and the xml code to that file I was not able to reproduce the problem.

muffinman: Can you avoid the crash by deleting the StarBow.gif in the archive and the xml file?

What I noticed when I was playing around in this dialog: The progress bar works not correctly. Alsmost everytime it stays 10 seconds on 0% and then hides when the files are loaded, sometimes it starts at 50% and then hides away. I think it only looks after which archives are loaded and does not look on the progress _in_ the packages.

Sometimes I have to click "apply" when I changed something, but sometimes "apply" is grayed out, altough I changed something. How is it expected to work? (like in the "about:config like advanced interface where changes apply imidiatelly?)

Just wanted to edit the last post...I wasn't able to. That is bad I think. :/

Edit: Just view the /BlurEmoticons2/StarBow.gif in Firefox, it looks pretty crappy, it should be animated but there are some mistakes in the picture, look yourself. Unfortuntely Psi does not support animated icons. It would be a good step to get the kids using Psi who need that...

You can edit only your own posts, within 10 minutes (or so) after original posting. Later, only moderators and administrators can edit (any) post.

Mhm, I know but why can't an admin or so change the option in the forum software, that everybody is able to edit his own posts (or set the time from 10 minutes to 60 minutes)? I dunno what cound be bad about it. If you compare this forum with others is this forum relative low traffic and here is only a very little use of spam and so on. I really think this option would have more positive than negatives effects.
In other forum one says that you should avoid double posts and here I am forced to do so. :/
Maybe an admin could overthink the situation... :)

I tried removing StarBow.gif from the folder/.jisp file and removing it from the xml file and psi seems to no longer crash. I tried it on my box, and one other and both seem to be working fine. I'll test it out on a few more boxes today to be sure and let you guys know.

Thanks for all your help on this guys, it's appreciated by a lot of people.

Just one quick and final update... I distributed the new version yesterday and everything seems to be working great.

Thanks again for all your help on this. Keep up the good work :)
