Photoflow crashes on opening any RAW image - Linux Mint 18.1

Hi, I thought I would investigate this Photoflow to see how it meets my needs.

(I’m a real Linux newbie so would know nothing about installing software from source etc!!).

I installed it from the PPA as follows.

I then launched it from the terminal. It opened OK and I navigated thru the folders to open a RAW image, and it just crashed -

Trace/breakpoint trap

I tried it from the launcher menu, and also with different RAW types and get just the same.

I can see an issue with a non-symbolic link in the install, also it can’t find a config/options file; then there is all the warnings at the end.

I hope I provided enough information, and that someone may be able to help.

Thanks for looking.

Kind Regards.

Les.

Thanks for reporting the problem! I will try to reproduce the crash, and let you know…

Wow that was quick, thankyou.

Here is the terminal output from trying to open a different RAW file, in case it helps.

I have now installed the version from the stable git like this
sudo apt-get install photoflow-git

I can open raw files now without it crashing :smile:

Great! I did not realize you were installing the non-git package… it is really time for a new release!

Please let me know if you have other issues, I have now more time for investigating…

Thanks!
