soundconvertor crashes when converting from CWD

[[e-mail]]

When I use 'add folder' to add a number of files to soundconvertor it crashes on conversion if I enter the folder before choosing 'open'. If I remain a level below and choose 'open' then the conversion will complete normally.

version 2.1.5 on Ubuntu 15.04

to replicate:
start soundconvertor
choose 'Add Folder'
navigate to a folder containing the files to convert and enter it so you can see the files
choose 'open'
files will appear in queue
press 'convert'
program will exit unexpectedly after one or two file conversions

if you remain outside the folder to be converted and simply select it rather than entering it before choosing 'open', then the convert step will complete normally for the entire file list.

I can't reproduce the problem. Can you retry with "soundconverter --debug" and paste here the result?

Thank you Keith.

Unfortunately, I can't see what's wrong here. It seems that the file chooser itself crashed, and I can't figure out why...

[[e-mail] (keitj)]

Would it be helpful to have dumps from two different sessions converting the same files, but one succeeding and one failing because of the starting location?

If not, I can leave it be now that I've found a workaround.

[GautierPortet (kassoulet)]

The successful session is not needed. Thank you very much for your help.

That's an ancient bug in GTK+2 that is supposed to be fixed in GTK+3 only so far:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697870

It's been taking down arbitrary applications that use GTK+'s internal file dialog, not only Soundconverter.
