crash on browse directory w/ broken image file
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

2.55 r32738 on winxp32

Blender crashes (closes immediately) when using the file browser (properties panel > textures > open a texture file) to browse a directory containing the attached image file. Crash occurs immediately upon opening the directory, or upon opening the file browser if that directory is selected to open immediately.

No .blend included, creating a .blend that generates this crash is impossible.

file notes: generated by photoshop cs5 during initial testing of NVidia's normal map filter tool. Created a new image (2048 by 2048 RGB with 16-bit channels) and added some testing input. Issued Save As command, filetype PNG directly into the directory in question.

Event Timeline

Hi, tested this and when loading on 64bit linux, I only get this error:
Unknown fileformat

Checking the image format with the file command also shows this to be a PSD file, not a PNG.

# file /d/test.png
Adobe Photoshop Image, 2048 x 2048, RGB, 3x 16-bit channels

But blender should not crash ofcourse, assigning to Nathan since it may be a windows/quicktime bug.

If it matters regarding the bug, quicktime is not installed on this computer.

Fixed r32956.
This was caused by quicktime not being installed on your computer, but works correctly now.
