AppCrash after choosing a new directory via Movie composer #130

Closed JakubChecinski closed 6 years ago

JakubChecinski commented 6 years ago

Describe the bug After trying to choose a new directory from the MovieComposer window (NOT directly in the Frame directory window - that one works), the app crashes

Indicate the dataset Example->0200nm

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Load data
  2. Set two example widgets (I used matplotlib and 3D arrows)
  3. Go to MovieComposer window and select a new directory when asked (choose a new one and not the same)
  4. The app crashes

Desktop (please complete the following information): Windows 7

This is due to the fact that Windows do not natively support ffmpeg which is used to compose videos. However, a Windows distribution of that codec can be installed from this site for example: https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html Wiki section mentions it here

Please let me know if that helps. Nevertheless, I will add the pop-ip message window to inform the user about the need to install ffmpeg rather than just crash the application.

Before downloading: No pop-up message for me, but I got the correct error message about FFmpeg in the console, so I guess it's fine.

I will post message tomorrow about what happens after downloading - the installation requires resetting the system and I don't want to do that right now.

ok great :) I will make it into Pop-up

JakubChecinski commented 6 years ago

Confirmed, it works correctly with ffmpeg installed.

Ok, then I'm closing this issue.
