#21 Quit fails in Comix 3.5

[Anonymous]

Quit fails in Comix 3.5. The console spits out this
message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/comix", line 347, in close_application
'.comix/menu_thumbnails')):
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/root/.comix/menu_thumbnails'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/comix", line 280, in close_application
del self.prefs['fullscreen']
KeyError: 'fullscreen'

Also, the About page does not display.

I have fixed the quitting bug. Bug fix release will be out soon.

The about dialog has me puzzled though, do you get any error
message when trying to open it? Does it matter whether you
are in fullscreen or not when opening it? If you have used
earlier versions of Comix, did the about dialog work then?
Lastly, what window manager and PyGTK/GTK+ version are you
using?

The about dialog works fine here now. It was probably a
glitch in my system. I was testing a lot of other packages
and libraries when it failed. Sorry to waste your time on that.

Thanks for fixing the 'quit bug' and thanks for developing
Comix, it's a great app. =)

Nothing to worry about. Thanks for the bug report.

Fix now included in version 3.5.1. I noticed that your error
message wasn't exacly the same as the one I got when
reproducing the bug. I didn't have this part:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/comix", line 280, in close_application
del self.prefs['fullscreen']
KeyError: 'fullscreen'

AFAIK it should not even be possible to get that error after
the first one, since it happens earlier in the code (line
280), and there are no jumps there from the point where the
first bug happen (line 347). Perhaps it is some strange
effect of the first error that I didn't get. Hopefully this
fix will solve it though.

On a side note: It is not recommended to run regular
applications (such as Comix), or even a graphical shell, as
root.
