Bug Description
I installed Pinta 0.7 on Ubuntu 10.10 using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogar
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pinta
Pinta worked fine for a week or so, but today I have started Ubuntu and run command Pinta from ternimal and got the following error:
===========
(Pinta:2044): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to read the recently used resources file at `/home/
Unhandled Exception: System.
at Pinta.Core.
at Pinta.MainWindo
at Pinta.MainWindo
at Pinta.MainClass
===========
That's just a warning, the actual crash is trying to read the settings.xml file.
Committed a fix in https:/ /github. com/jpobst/ Pinta/commit/ 5245c63cd4af1d0 fc0f7a22163719a 7305e7e5bc to just default settings if your settings file is somehow unreadable.
You can probably fix the issue by deleting your settings.xml file.
