I am getting the same crash every time I use Blink. It crashes on opening Blink and if I load files. Having loaded files into the file list Blink then can do nothing. No image is displayed.

Mac OS X 10.12.5

I attach 2 screenshots of the crash report.

cheers,

I cannot reproduce these problems with our data sets. This issue should be data-dependent. Can you upload a data set where this problem happens, so I can reproduce it?

[fhuet1]

Same for me.
I'm not at the computer right now, but I'll try to add more info later.

Hi Fernando,

As noted above, what I need is a set of frames where this problem can be reproduced. As I've said countless times, if I can't reproduce a problem then I cannot understand and eventually fix it.

Hi Juan,

sorry for the delay -- I've been very preoccupied this week.

I'm uploading a zip to DropBox at the moment -- it's 1.9Gb and I've got a slow connection so it will take time. The link, when it's finished, will be
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2gh0scnuntikqpr/M92.zip?dl=0

I think it'll be several hours to upload.

cheers,
Richard

[rfrancis]

It's there now.

Hi Juan,
I provided a DropBox link to such a set of files on 1 Sep. To repeat, the link is
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2gh0scnuntikqpr/M92.zip?dl=0

Did you manage to download them and reproduce the error?

cheers,
Richard

If you need any other information please let me know.
