In Kubuntu 19.10 with KDE 5.66, if I select more than one file, click on a tag and then remove. Kid3 crashes. Tried on 2 different computers with the same result. Going back to 3.7.1 and it works.
I am running Kubuntu 19.10 too, but is uses KDE Frameworks 5.62.0, not 5.66, and I have never experienced this problem.
Do you have an unofficial KDE from some PPA?
Are you running Kid3 3.8.1 from my PPA?
What kind of files do you have, MP3? With ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4?
Are you just selecting multiple files and then clicking on the "Remove" button in the "Tag 2" section and it is crashing? Could you please describe exactly the procedure which leads to the crash?
Could you provide me some files which can be used to reproduce the crash?
Do you have a stack trace or crash report (e.g. using apport or a debugger)?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Kid3 is from your PPA and I also have the Kubuntu beta backports PPA.
It seems that it is only m4a files and mp4 files.
That is all I am doing, load up a directory of files in kid3, select more than one file and then click on the remove button.
I have tried running it from Konsole, but all it says is
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Just looked in the logs and found this:
kernel: [39133.326063] traps: kid3[28580] general protection fault ip:7ff202b9f8f0 sp:7ffe729cb208 error:0 in libtag.so.1.17.0[7ff202b62000+65000]

Thanks for the additional information, I could reproduce it and I will fix it.
I have uploaded a fixed version git20200119 to the development folder (also Debian packages for Ubuntu 19.10). Could you please test it?
Thanks,
That seems to have fixed the crashing.
Fixed in version 3.8.2.
