Import image not working on Linux desktop application

[jonshouse1]

I have tried everything I can think of.

I select import Image, browse to a png, it shows a preview, I select "Import" by pressing the button, nothing happens - app just seems to ignore me ?

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Can you :

• upload the PNG you are trying to import
• try importing in the online version (either at http://juliandescottes.github.io/piskel/ or http://piskelapp.com/p/create ) and let me know if the issue also occurs there?

Thanks!

Import works for the image on the online version.

I cant see the option to attach a file here so I have stuck the file here:

The piskel binary I am using should be recent, it has the md5sum:
20846a5f9f77d2cfcdd14ef915ee5cf3 piskel

The directory the binary is in is writeable by the linux user.

Many thanks,
Jon

Just reproduced with the latest 0.6.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.4.

From my limited testing it looks like the issue is with the confirm prompt.
All the flows using a native window.alert/confirm/prompt are not working apparently on Linux.

Looks like this was fixed in nwjs 12.0 (see nwjs/nw.js#2683)

For now I use nwjs 11.5 for windows and linux builds, which could explain the issue. I will update to 12.0 (or newer) when releasing 0.7.0.

Impacted features are:

• importing image
• renaming layers
• restoring session

As a workaround you can either

(1) use the website version
or
(2) import the image on the website, save as .piskel, import the .piskel on the offline app (phew ...)

Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention @jonshouse1 !

It would be great to use the offline version, let me know when a new release is ready. Thanks.
