Unrecognized image file format exception on launch #50

Closed avinash closed 7 years ago

avinash commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I have installed flickr-downloader on my Fedora Linux 24 laptop and, on initial run, I get to authorize it with Flickr and choose the preferences. As soon as I click on save, I get the following exception:

GLib.GException: Unrecognized image file format at FloydPink.Flickr.Downloadr.UI.Windows.BaseWindow+<HandleException>c__AnonStorey0.<>m__0 (System.Object , System.EventArgs ) <0x41bab150 + 0x00017> in <filename unknown>:0 at Gtk.Application+InvokeCB.Invoke () <0x41b35dc0 + 0x00021> in <filename unknown>:0 at GLib.Timeout+TimeoutProxy.Handler () <0x41b35cf0 + 0x00046> in <filename unknown>:0

and the application crashes. On subsequent launches, I immediately get the same exception.

The "Unrecognized image file format" is very troubling.

Any idea?

Thank you for reporting this. Can you please do these to help me troubleshoot?

  1. First, to destroy the saved preferences and login information - delete$HOME/.config/flickr-downloadr/ directory
  2. Then after logging in again, please change the log level to ALL from the Preferences screen and paste the log file contents after reproducing the crash.

Thanks!

Probably my pull request #56 should fix this problem too.
