#268 Segfault on viewing an NFS mounted subdirectory

[Michael Allan]

Version 1.44.

Moving through the directories of the tree view, I get a segfault on moving to a subdirectory of an NFS mountpoint.

My workaround: downgrade to version 1.43.2.

I can't reproduce the bug. Could you post some detailed procedure, please?

[Michael Allan]

Turns out my bug title is a red herring (sorry). What causes the bug has nothing to do with NFS. Rather it’s a missing icon file.

(1) In ~/.config/xfe/xferc under [FILETYPES], add this line:

foo=<txteditor>,<txtviewer>,<txteditor>;Foo file;;foo_16x16.png;;

(2) In XFE, view a directory that contains a file named test.foo. XFE segfaults because foo_16x16.png does not exist.

1.43.2 could handle a missing icon file, 1.44 cannot.

OK, that's a regression introduced in Xfe 1.44. It will be fixed in the next release. Thanks.

[Roland Baudin]

This is fixed in Xfe 1.46.
