Segmentation fault (core dumped) when calling ScreenImageMgr.creaeteScreenImage() with non-existent path

[Jake Chapman-Olsen]

Stellarium will crash when trying to createScreenImage() from a script where the path to image is invalid.
After running the following in a script

ScreenImageMgr.createScreenImage("image", "path/to/image.png", 100, 100, 1, true, 1, 1);

Stellarium will crash with

Failed to create ScreenImage: file not found: scripts/path/to/image.png
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

On occasion I would need to run the script twice to get the crash.
I was also unable to catch the error in a try, catch statement.

Tested with Stellarium 0.12.4 on Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.
But have also noticed the bug in other versions of Stellarium on OS X as well.

I can't catch crash. Can you give script, which gave crash?

[Jake Chapman-Olsen (jake-k-co)]

That one line is simply all I needed in a script to crash. It does seem that the script needs to be run twice to get the crash however.

ScreenImageMgr.createScreenImage("image", "path/to/image.png", 100, 100, 1, true, 1, 1);

I'll upload the log I get when in OS X as well

[Jake Chapman-Olsen (jake-k-co)]

Stellarium log.txt doesn't show "Segmentation fault: 11" which is shown when Stellarium is run from OS X terminal

And here is the OS X "Problem Report for Stellarium"

A fix has been committed as revision 6558 of the trunk branch in Stellarium's Bazaar repository at Launchpad:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stellarium/stellarium/trunk/revision/6558

Note: work of file management in series 0.13 was changed and if you want porting this patch into series 0.12, then you should use try() catch() instead path.isEmpty() inside ScreenImageMgr::createScreenImage() method.
