[Linuxsampler-devel] gigaedit saving issues

[David S. <dav...@gm...>]

Hello,

there's an issue with the current version of gigaedit (tested on Windows 
10 and on Linux) with version 2.4.0.svn1_20250906.

Opening the 71MB giga file "4 Horns Mute Staccato.gig" from Sonic 
Implants Brass works fine in gigaedit, but saving it creates a whopping 
10GB giga file. At v2.3.1, resaving would simply crash.

For Andreas Persson, even the latest version still crashes when saving:
> * Start gigedit,
> * add a region,
> * add a sample (24 bit, 48kHz),
> * assign the sample to the region,
> * save the gig file (with a new file name)
> => crash
> 
> Interestingly, this happens on Linux too, so it's not Windows specific.
> 
> It crashes because RIFF::Chunk::Write throws this exception: "Cannot
> write data to chunk, file has to be opened in read+write mode first". I
> don't know why. There were many changes in this area of the code in
> February 2025. We should let Christian know about it.

Happy to provide any more info if required.

Best,
David
