LinuxSampler for Windows - problem report (GigEdit)

Post by RobS » Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:47 pm

64 bit Windows 7 - latest versions from SVN, as at 2nd Jan 2011

From Fantasia, clicking the edit button on a loaded sample (to fire up GigEdit) causes LinuxSampler back end to crash/ exit.
Repeatable, does it every time.

Let me know if further diagnostic info is needed, and if so where will I find log files etc?

Thanks,
Rob

Here's an image file showing the crash in LinuxSampler for Windows (64 bit) when trying to run GigEdit using the EDIT buttons in Fantasia.

Everything else in Linux Sampler for Windows is working well.
GigEdit runs OK stand-alone, it's just the problem when it's kicked off by LinuxSampler.

Please can anyone help to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Rob

Here is the fault diagnosis, it is specific to LinuxSampler and Fantasia for Windows. The fault does not occur in Linux.

When trying to start GigEdit, Fantasia is passing to LinuxSampler a filename in the Windows format:
  • "C:\GigaLibrary\OpenStudio\Grand Piano 1.gig"
LinuxSampler cannot handle this, it can only handle strings in the format:
  • "C:/GigaLibrary/OpenStudio/Grand Piano 1.gig"
LinuxSampler then crashes while parsing the "Windows format" filename ...

So Fantasia needs to be fixed to pass filenames in LinuxSampler format when it communicates with LinuxSampler in "edit" mode.
And LinuxSampler needs to be fixed to reject filenames passed in a format it does not like ... it should generate an error message, not crash.

Note 1: All LSCP files created by Fantasia are in the "correct" Linux Sampler format, this works fine.
Note 2: If you try loading any "hand crafted" lscp file with filenames in Windows format, then LinuxSampler will crash.

Thanks,
Rob
