Save Current Frame closes application

Open BLOODWOLF333 opened this issue 3 weeks ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug: After the application exports and saves a frame the application then closes without any input from the user.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Opened my project
  2. Modified the track 1 video start and end times
  3. Saved project
  4. Moved cursor to location on timeline for the thumbnail I want
  5. File>Save Current Frame
  6. Received message at bottom of screen stating image was saved to "filepath"
  7. Changed focus to Gimp application to edit the thumbnail
  8. Openshot then closes when I go into Gimp

Expected behavior: Openshot stays open after I save a frame, edit it in gimp, and then return to the openshot window to then export the video before uploading to YouTube.

System Details:

  • OpenShot Version: 3.4.5 | 0.5.0
  • Operating System / Distro: Windows 10

Log Files: openshot-qt.log

Exception / Stacktrace: NA

This is a known bug and is in the queue to be fixed. No ETA at this time.

Update: This has nothing to do with Gimp or any other advanced text editor that you might be using. It is strictly an issue with the SHIFT+E and Caching.

A new v3.4.0-Release-Candidate is available now and it fixes this issue.
