-What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Assign the attached image to auto icon/colour and call it "footsteps", colour it too.
2. create new track and name it "footsteps" then double click to create a 2nd track underneath it

-What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected a new track to be created but Reaper crashes with below report

Think I've solved it! :) I think "_" (underscore) is an illegal character which is causing the crash. Took that out and hasn't crashed since!

Sorry, still crashing :*(

Trying to find the pattern. I've renamed files to be solely alphabetical now so no numbers or characters and I still get crashes on jpegs when naming a track that adds the dodgy jpeg and then straight after creating a new track.

Will try converting them to PNG and see if it's a compression bug thing.

Any ideas guys? :) thanks!

It seems to be with any files I have added recently since they don't show up in the same way on the list. They have full path names and not shorter ones which make me thing somehow autocolour is getting them in a different way? (see attached photo)

Also here's another crash log in case it's different :)

Thanks for all the details, Matt!

Fixed for the next build ( r1080 ).

For the record, "short paths" are used for files located in REAPER resources directories (or sub-directories), full paths are used otherwise. It's REAPER convention nout ours (less blabla in RPP files, portability, etc..).
This convention is used in the S&M Resources window too.

Status: Fixed

Thanks a lot! :) that's great news as I was just looking forward to
expanding my icons to include a kitchen sink image too!

Glad it was a quick one to find!

Matt.

Hi Jeffos, Hope this isn't a silly question but build ( r1080 ), is that automatically part of what is now v17 (and therefore I can just download it again with auto icon fix) or is it only updated once v18 is out? :)

I'm not trying to rush the release or anything just wasn't sure if I was somehow meant to test build ( r1080 ) somehow?

If not, no worries, I have patience! :)

From jeffos...@gmail.com on May 23, 2013 16:08:11

yes, this means this fix will be part of v18 (I put commit numbers like " r1080 " as notes, just to know how what was fixed when).
I'd have to set things to "fixed" only when the builds are out though, oh well :)

no worries! looking forward to it like the nerd I am!

Have a big project here that's currently iconless and in need of that magic assignment that auto-icon brings! ;)
