Easytag-aac crashes on Hardy when attempting to capitalize the first letter or each word in file.
Steps to reproduce
1. Open Easytag and select an mp3 file to edit
2. Right click in any one of the fields and select "First letter uppercase of each word"
3. Easytag crashes

Easytag should make the first letter of each word upercase

added backtrace

[Sergio Barjola (sbarjola)]

looking at the code, seems that error is in line (scan.c:1806):
if (!GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(ProcessFieldsDetectRomanNumerals)->active)

ProcessFieldsDetectRomanNumerals is a checkbox initialized at NULL. It's created at Scanner->Process Fields dialog, so I think that check its state before create it.

If you open the dialog before call the "First letter uppercase of each word" function it not crash.
