What is in the file created by Inkscape: a copy of the bitmap file, a SVG file with a link to an external bitmap or a SVG file with an embedded bitmap - maybe you can attach the file?

> the file can be edited after a relaunch.

i.e. Inkscape 0.47 (quartz) can open and edit SVG files created with Inkscape 0.46 (x11) that contain links to bitmap images or embedded bitmaps without issues but crashes while closing the GtkFileChooser dialog when importing a new bitmap?

sidenote: can you try to add a simple yet detailed 'steps to reproduce' list when reporting bugs? Like

| 1) open new drawing
| 2) open menu 'File > Import' and enable Preview
| 3) select a JPEG bitmap file
| 4) click <OK> to import the image
|
| result: Inkscape crashes when closing the import dialog with the following
| console error message:
| …

and attach (not paste) the CrashReporter log file (imho preferable, at least as long as Launchpad does reformat all bug descriptions and comments and makes logfiles and code snippets almost unreadable due to using non-fixed fonts and rewrapping ;-).

Tried to reproduce the crashes today - now everything works nicely…
Hm.

What I did:

1. launched inkscape
2. chosed "import bitmap"
3. chosed a jpg file
4. hit o.k.
5. Everything was fine

Strange

Could it depend on the type of raster image you import (PNG vs. JPG vs. TIFF vs. BMP …)?

Does Inkscape 0.47/x11 sometimes crashes as well when importing a bitmap? Could you test if TIFF files are imported in both versions without crash (works with Inkscape 0.47/x11 on OS X 10.5 Leopard without crash).

(There's an open ticket 'tiff-3.8.2 +universal doesn't produce working binaries on PPC machines' for MacPorts, pointing to an upstream issue in the tiff libraries - "This seems to be an endianess problem" <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13946>)

Changed in inkscape:
status: New → Incomplete

This could be related to bug #168893 “0.45.1 universal cannot import TIFF on PPC Macs” - points to the same open ticket in the MacPorts bug tracker.

Never ever. Tried 3 different tiffs (round 2 MB each) in two
different runs of inkscape, scaled, shifted around closed and
reopened - everything is fine…
