When I accidentaly try to add a raster file not supported by GDAL (e.g. something nonsensical like a mp3), qgis crashes with the error:

Error: GDAL Error 4: @/home/borys/foo.mp3' not recognised as a supported file format.
Segmentation fault

Looks like a trivial test is needed.

I can add unsupported file formats with 735f9e0 (SVN r13413) just fine.
Ok, I also get the error message, but it doesn't crash.

I can replicate this under linux.

Open a GRASS raster and export it with the module r.out.ascii

Then try to add it to QGIS, under linux it will crashes with

GDAL Error 4: @/home/gio/Desktop/teste1' not recognised as a supported file format.

under windows it will show only

"is not a supported raster data source"

The crash happens (under linux) also when I try to open a mrsid raster in a installation where I have not enabled mrsid support.

mails about my last two comments have not been sent by the system, so I'll bump this ticket.

Slightly different, but it could be the same: #12828

Still not reproducable. Which GDAL version is in use where it the crashes?

Now it works again with gdal 1.7, the problems were with 1.6. I'm closing the ticket as it seems to be related to gdal only.

---

• status_id was changed from Open to Closed
• resolution was changed from to invalid

Btw. Lutra, if you can confirm the crash with gdal 1.7, please reopen.

a quick test with Ubuntu 10.04 and qgis trunk and now it seems that does not crash anymore.

Confirmed, the bug is still there, both with GDAL 1.6 and 1.7

Error:
GDAL Error 4: @/home/paolo/Desktop/2010.ods' not recognised as a supported file format.
