(Fixed) Choosing previously selected file causes DDRescue-GUI to hang

[Tet Yoon Lee]

For either the Recovery Map File or Image Destination, if you choose the "Specify Path/File" option and select a file that was selected previously and therefore shows up in the list of files and paths under the "Please Select" list, DDRescue-GUI will become unresponsive requiring termination. I guess it has a problem because the file is already in the list of options.

This probably isn't necessary but I would expect it to select that file under the existing option. Although it doesn't matter that much if it adds it twice. Even giving an error message "That file was previously selected" would be fine.

(It may be unusual to select the same file, but it can arise when someone accidentally selects the wrong file, one that was selected previously. Also when someone doesn't notice the file is already there.)

Thanks for reporting this, I will try to reproduce it soon. Do you need to have completed a recovery and reset the GUI for this to happen?

Fixed, will be available in the next release, 2.1.0.
