I ended up ditching everything and reinstalling MSYS2 from scratch. I switched to the UCRT terminal when it said to in the instructions. Up until that point I used the MSYS2 terminal.
I don’t think it matters what terminal you run git from.
The Lua warning probably needs changed to “use a windows terminal”, but I would say that it was an oversight.
Thanks Bill…I am in the process of doing the same…did you get that msg about search path/variables that I posted above… if so could you direct me how to deal with that…where would I add those references…
Quite fast. I made a series of a exposure adjustments, up and down, then the familiar error box popped up. I’ll try it again, but it might a while till I get time…
One point I probably should have mentioned is that I had the new build using my 4.0 database (after backing it up). I might try it again on a fresh database…
No, not R-dt, but I do have one other build, one of Todd’s builds with the new HR mode, currently installed. But not running at the time (probably obvious!)
EDIT I have dt4.0 (the workhorse) installed too. Forgot to count it. @wpferguson, here’s the file where it crashed:
(file is licenced Creative Commons, By-Attribution, Share-Alike.) (I hope this is the right licence!) DSC_6762.NEF (25.0 MB) DSC_6762.NEF.xmp (892 Bytes)
Not sure whether the xmp is reflective of the edit - I imagine it crashed without saving the adjustments. Not sure though atm.
Humph… maybe it’s specific to my system? TBH I’m not too bothered… would it be useful to anyone if I keep poking at it? If not I might just let it go at this point. But is there anything anyone wants me to try, or any info you need?
Have you tried the photo with a fresh config/db? You could temporarily rename your AppData\Local\darktable folder to see if the error is coming from there.
@apostel338 , I tried using Bill’s version with a clean db (I used --configidir - worked well) but it doesn’t make any difference. @g-man , I uninstalled both my other version of 4.1 and 4.0 too, so Bill’s latest 4.1 was the only dt on the system. Still no difference.
I’ve isolated the problem slightly more, to reproduce: Close dt. Start dt, then open image in darkroom. Make two consecutive adjustments to exposure. It should crash just after the second adjustment.
BUT! If I make one exposure adjustment, then do something else, like a color balance rgb saturation adjustment, then go back to exposure, it works perfectly. What’s more, if I then open a new image, exposure works fine from the start, and the problem doesn’t reoccur. But if I restart dt the problem returns.
The problem is there with RAWs from both a nikon and a sony.
Hope this helps!
I’m going to reinstall 4.0 now… back to work
