Save/Export freeze #64

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Whenever I try to save or export, the spinner in the top right corner just keeps spinning. The save file is created in most cases, but I have to interrupt/kill Birdfont. This happened on Ubuntu 16.04. I installed Birdfont via apt-get. There has been another report on this, but there is no working solution.

Thank you for the report. Which version of Birdfont are you running and have you tried the latest flatpak build?

johanmattssonm commented 6 years ago

I have a vague memory of fixing this a long time ago.

Version 2.14.0. I just realized that I used a very old version of Birdfont, but installing it with flatpak seems not to work for me (It says: The Application org.birdfont.BirdFont/x86_64/master requires the runtime org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.22 which is not installed )

Have you tried this?

flatpak remote-add --from gnome https://sdk.gnome.org/gnome.flatpakrepo flatpak install gnome org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/3.22

That worked. Thanks. (Still, it's annoying that sudo apt-get install birdfont installs an old version)
