Segfault when opening settings after skipping owncloud setup

[stuartlangridge]

Expected behaviour

I can open the settings from the anonymous usage warning popup dialog during initial setup.

Actual behaviour

QOwnNotes segfaults.

Steps to reproduce

1. snap install qownnotes
2. qownnotes
3. in the Welcome to QOwnNotes window, choose a folder to store notes and hit Next
4. In the second screen, do not open the ownCloud settings, but instead just hit Finished
5. QOwnNotes opens a dialog saying "QOwnNotes will track anonymous usage data, that helps to decide what parts of QOwnNotes to improve next and to find and fix bugs. You can disable that behaviour in the settings." In this dialog, click "Open settings".
6. QOwnNotes exits with a Segmentation fault (core dumped) error.

Output from the debug section in the settings dialog

I don't know because I never get that far.

Nice find, thank you for reporting! I can reproduce that and will fix it in the next release.

By the way, I love your podcast. It's an honor that you are (or trying to) use QOwnNotes. :)

Meanwhile you can of course run qownnotes again and turn metrics off in the settings.

• fixed a Segmentation fault when opening the settings dialog from the welcome dialog

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?
To get the welcome dialog again you will need to run qownnotes --clear-settings.
If you dislike snaps there are also repositories for a loooot of distributions on http://www.qownnotes.org/installation. ;)

Yup, confirmed that the problem no longer happens!

(Snaps are completely ideal for exactly this requirement to get an updated version without adding a repo, so I'm happy with them. And... thank you for your comments on Bad Voltage!)

[pbek]

Great, thank you for testing!

If you want smaller packages or the native look and feel of your desktop environment (in my case KDE) or your note folder outside your home directory then "native" packages / repositories are still better. ;)

Happy managing your Bad Voltage show notes with QOwnNotes. :)
