Geeqie exits when overwriting an image file being displayed about geeqie

[caclark]

I suspect this happens when Edit/Preferences/General/Refresh On File Change is selected.
This could be turned off, and a manual Refresh made at intervals.
I know this does not solve the problem.

If this is the case, perhaps the realtime_monitor_cb() is seeing the change and unreffing the fd, while the same fd remains in vf->list.
It might be the solution is to eliminate the assert() that causes the crash, and just ignore the error.

I tried repeatedly saving an image that was not currently being displayed in Geeqie and no problems.

I tried your suggestion of disabling 'Refresh On File Change' and there were no exits/crashes. However, If I saved and quickly clicked on the refresh button while the save was still underway, then Geeqie crashed. The need for a manual refresh is a pain and I will revert to the previous version until this is addressed.

I just upgraded to this development version two days ago in order to (hopefully) address some other problems, and began to see this crashing problem. For reference,, this never occurred with version 1.7+git20220327-6d541232 GTK3

Thanks for looking into this.

I am still unable to replicate this.
The latest AppImages have the -Ddevel=enabled option set, which produces a (usually useful) stack dump when a crash occurs.

OK, I'll download the most current AppImage and see what happens. If it does core dump will it be in the starting directory or elsewhere, and how should I get it to you?

Tried it running 2.2+git20240207-5547f6ae (extracted AppImage) and it exited on the first attempt to save an image. Retried and same thing happened.

However, there is no dump file in the current directory, in /var/lib/apport/coredump or in /var/crash.
