Cinepaint crashes when opening preferences

[Ludovico Fischer]

I'm using cinepaint 0.22-1 on Ubuntu Gutsy Tribe 6. Very often, when I open File>Preferences, the app either crashes or hangs. Somertimes I am able to acces them, though.

It is related to color management. I have profiles in /usr/share/color/icc. Cinepaint can't recognise the monitor profile I mad with a Huey; I try to disable color management (by unticking color manage new displays by default), and when I try to save, it hangs. After this, cinepaint randomly hangs when opening the preferences. I also tried to delete the paths to the color profiles folders in Preferences>Folders, but this also causes a hang, but this also makes This is what I get in Terminal:

/usr/lib/cinepaint/0.22-1/plug-ins/script-fu

I can confirm this. I also have custom ICC profile made using Huey, and its directory added in ICC profile folder list of preferences. Trying to reopen preferences dialog crashes Cinepaint. I removed the item in ~/.cinepaint/gimprc and it doesn not crash anymore. I can use the same ICC profile in Gimp 2.4.

BTW I got UFRaw 0.12.1 crash after I used a custom Huey ICC profile as display profile.

I addition to what I told about Gimp 2.4 with a custom Huey monitor profile, I can make it work with only one of my profiles; with others Gimp tells "(Invalid UTF-8 string)". I hope this helps to solve the problem with the profiles with Cinepaint.

I have already reported this in the gimp bugzilla and on lcms mailing list. It seems it is a problem with the way lcms (the colour management library used by both gimp and cinepaint) handles icc v4 profiles. See http://<email address hidden>/msg02122.html, for instance. Meanwhile you could try building a profile for the Huey with the Argyll cms beta 7:

Can anyone still reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy?
