#221 Xournal not responding after manipulating size of pasted image

[Oliver G.]

When I copy pasted an screenshot obtained from the 'Snip & Sketch' app on Windows 10 into my 'Xournal 0.4.8.2016-win32' and try to scale the pasted object, Xournal is not responding.

Does this specifically affect images copy-pasted from 'Snip & sketch' or do you encounter this issue with images copy-pasted from other applications? (eg from the photo viewer or paint or ...?)

Does this only happen if you copy-paste then immediately try to rescale, or also if the image has been copy-pasted earlier, you've been writing more with the pen, perhaps you even saved and closed xournal then reopened the file, and later on you select and rescale the image?

In other terms, what would be useful to know is whether this is specific to images coming from 'Snip & sketch', or if this is an issue with rescaling an image that has just been copy-pasted, or a more general issue with image rescaling.

I am not sure I can be of much help, to be honest, since I don't even have a Windows 10 machine available to me so I can't debug things too easily, but it would be good to figure out exactly what situations cause the crash.

Thanks,
Denis

As of now, it has only happened one time and I can't recall though when it happened exactly, but I'll watch out when it happens again. Thanks for the quick response, thought it would be only fair to help and share my experience.

Oh ok, thanks -- glad to hear that it happened only on one occasion and
isn't systematically crashing every time. (That makes it harder to know
exactly what went wrong, but it does mean that, if you enable auto-saves
to protect yourself against crashes, xournal should still be mostly
usable :-)
