Summary0004520: Crash while placing multiple large JPEG images
DescriptionIn a new document, Scribus fails while placing multiple large JPEG images, with the message

"Scribus crashes due to the following exception: EXEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"

Additional debugger information from MS Visual Studio 2005 debugger in the attached file.
Steps To ReproduceIn an empty 1-page document, insert an image frame, size about 2.4 cm x 2.5 cm.

Place the image 1994_Apr_013.jpg, which I have previously made available as http://rapidshare.com/files/2839962/1994_Apr_013.jpg.html. Ignore the warning about resolution tags missing.

After the image is successfully placed, type ^C once, followed by ^V 15 times. This should make 15 copies of the image. After several seconds, the above crash occurs.

If ^V is typed 10 times, there is no crash, and the copies can be moved (they are created superimposed).
Additional InformationSystem has 2 GB RAM.

The crash is reproducible, but the address of the access violation varies.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is solvable by using shared objects for image. Will try to work on that for 1.3.6/1.3.7

Rapidshare links is obsolete. How big was the image? (so I can reproduce)

 I couldn't add any more notes over on 0015174, but would like to add that (a) the images I had were downscaled to 2048 longer side (mostly 2:3 and 3:4 format), and that it also doesn't generally happen while loading this document, only while loading it for the first time with nwe images, or so.

I have no reason to doubt your analysis, but I have (including swap) about 12-14 GB available memory, and scribus (1.5.4svn) uses about 6 or 7 while having three such documents open.

So I think in my case it would imply that something is - perhaps when thumbnailing - leaking memory? Once I open the document a few times or do the same steps a few times eventually I no longer get a crash and can work with the document just fine.

I add a note here because my duplicate thread had been closed; if I drag&drop the image from File browser into Scribus` picture frame it works (1.5.6/1.5.6.1). Even I had added more RAM (actually 10GB, after Scribus with my document running there was more than 5GB RAM free according to system monitor) the freezing was not solved So I suppose the proglem might be somewhere inside File Dialog when Inserting Picture file. Even that I do not suppose Scribus is not able to manage 250+ pages inside document containing hundreds of pictures - I am workin well due to the drag`n`drop functionality mentioned above.
