Unable to Open Preferences

[Michael Duvall]

I'm running OpenShot 1.4.3 in a RHEL6.3 environment, but running a 6.3.5 x86_64 custom kernel. It is installed from your tarball (openshot-1.4.3.tar.gz). MLT version 0.7.8-1. FFmpeg is version 0.6.1-1.

OpenShot works wonderful. I have produced a couple of videos with minimal issues (cockpit errors basically), but I get the following when I attempt to open Preferences.

on_mnuPreferences_activate called with self.mnuPreferences
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mduvall/Downloads/openshot-1.4.3/openshot/windows/MainGTK.py", line 1695, in on_mnuPreferences_activate
    preferences.PreferencesMgr(project=self.project, form=self)
  File "/home/mduvall/Downloads/openshot-1.4.3/openshot/windows/preferences.py", line 45, in __init__
    self.frmPreferences.set_icon_from_file(getIconPath("openshot"))
glib.GError: Failed to load image '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/openshot.png': Fatal error in PNG image file: Read Error
on_mnuQuit1_activate called with self.mnuQuit
on_frmMain_destroy

'/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/openshot.png' doesn't appear damaged, as it opens under gimp and gthumb without any complaints.

So I poked around and commented out lines 44 & 45 in openshot/windows/preferences.py just to see what happens.

Everything seems to work just fine now.

I don't know if this is a local issue, since I have updated a number of packages from various sources to meet OpenShot dependencies.

Thanks!

This would appear to be a local issue, as this normally works ok.
