crash when importing files from directory with too long path on Windows
Hi,
Plater.exe crashes unexspectedly when pressing the "Add part(s)" button. The fix seems to put the files to some directories up to shorten the path. I am using Windows 10 64 Bit Pro Version.
I made some testings where i put the file chainy_v2.stl some dirs up until it works instead crashing. I just renamed the paths because they contained some info i dont want to publish here.
- fail: C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\Gedöns\123456Design\Keyorganizer123456\STL Export\chainy_v2.stl
- fail: C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\Gedöns\123456Design\Keyorganizer123456\chainy_v2.stl
- fail: C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\Gedöns\123456Design\chainy_v2.stl
- fail: C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\Gedöns\chainy_v2.stl
- works: C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\chainy_v2.stl
maybe somebody has an idea how to fix it. regards, Mario
some add. info: seems also happening if path + filename in total get too long
Can you try the binaries from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1USaJTZzJk_7KIQr8ctoPnoI9gQ6FYcY9
@combolek what fix did you make?
It can be also related to special chars (here the ö)
Hi, thanks for the download @combolek . But the given executable has the same problem. Indeed i've overseen the special character Ö which is typical in europe. In general UTF-8 might be good solution because many countries have à á â and other chars in their daily used names.
I now renamed the folder and it works (but in my case a bad solution)
Ok @vmario89, I'm not saying you shouldn't use UTF-8 characters, but just trying to isolate what makes the program crash Do you confirm that the same PATH with and without the special char have different behavior?
hi @Gregwar, yes the "ö" in path is the problem. I tested it with
"C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\Gedöns\123456Design\chainy_v2.stl" -> fail "C:\Users\mario\Seafile\cloud.123456-STLEXPOR.DD\Gedons\123456Design\chainy_v2.stl" -> good

I was all wrong, ignore me.
For the native MSVC build the following workaround works for me:
--- a/gui/main.cpp
+++ b/gui/main.cpp
@@ -13,6 +13,10 @@ Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QWindowsVistaStylePlugin);
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
+#if defined(_MSC_VER)
+ // set default encoding for fopen/chdir/etc.
+ setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ".utf8");
+#endif
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QGLFormat glf = QGLFormat::defaultFormat();
@vmario89 can you try these binaries? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZdfkoLtuxTc07pidsPaVaUHsK0e3Y6kh/view?usp=sharing
But even if this works, it's only a partial solution because it cannot handle command line arguments (so it won't work for the plater.exe command line app). Also, I think the official build uses mingw (?) and this solution does not work then either.
I figured out a better way to fix it, see PR #30. It requires Windows 10 1903 or later but it also handles paths on the command line.
@vmario89 can you try these updated binaries? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1USaJTZzJk_7KIQr8ctoPnoI9gQ6FYcY9
Stopped crashing for me with your latest updated binaries @combolek
Great, thanks for testing. Let's hope PR #30 will be merged.
It is done
Oh nice! Would it be possible to provide a recent binary download / release set?
regards, Mario :)
Did you try the ones from the link above?
