Drag 'n' Drop, "Open", or terminal-invoke causes crash ("Segmentation fault (core dumped)")

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

I have used this program successfully (more or less) before, but I have lately been using GIMP,
and now feel rather confident that I can use it to improve an image to where it is more likely
to successfully undergo OCR, and went to test YAGF again.

I have not been able to get YAGF to successfully open any file I have tried to open.
Neither type .png nor .jpg worked.
Although one .png reported:
"scott@scott-ASUS-M2N68-AM-PLUS:~$ yagf /data/scott/Photos/GIMP_Projects/ThingsToOCR/SC_OCR1.png
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what(): std::bad_alloc
Aborted (core dumped)"

The other terminal-invoked trials resulted merely in:
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Drag 'n' Drop, and File-->Open Image just result in the YAGF window suddenly disappear.

Try to disable option "Crop Image When Loaded" in Settings --> Image processing.

Yes. That did the trick. Thank you.

I have the same problem but not just with drag an drop. All way to open file crashes yagf with :
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)
I didn't found the crop Image when loaded in my settings, I use Ubuntu 16.04.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[L'Africain (lafricain79)]

Ok I found the option "Crop Image..." now it runs perfectly.

Problem persist. Please correct this or change the default settings. not every one is able to find this workaround as described above.

Its a shame that a Bug like this persist since 2015.

Repair it, or remove it from Store!
