PC: Brand New MacBook Pro w/I9 processor, 64k RAM, OSX Catalina V10.15.5
PI: Ver 1.8.8-5
Action: "Save As"
This crash locked PI and I lost everything I hadn't saved up to that point (ouch!). It actually happened while I was in the process of saving things. I don't normally report small "garden variety" glitches here, but this one is so bad that you guys should know about it. I merely tried to save an image to a TIFF file. The image had 3 previews open. I had accidentally saved it as a 32 bit file and when it finished, it reported that TIFF was insufficient to save the file (or something along those lines). That warning was expected. I then tried to save it again (with the intention of saving it to a 16 bit file, but it immediately crashed as soon as I pressed "Save As". After the crash, I checked and PI did successfully save the TIFF file before crashing. I've attached a screen shot of the crash.
Although I had a lot of stuff saved. This crash will send me back to square one since I was on an intermediate branch of my processing flow. So, I lost essentially a day of work. It is very bad to run into hard crashes like this one in an app like PI so I hope that you guys can fix it. PI is an awesome application and I don't want to have to fear a crash every time I do something! Let me know if you need more information and I'll do my best to help you out.
