I've noticed a problem that affects both the current (0.1.7) release and the latest pre-release (emelfm2-tom-20060621). If I attempt to enter a directory for which I have execute only permission (In this case, owned by another user, with perm 0711) I get a GTK error: (emelfm2:30852): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first:assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed And e2 seems to hang in perpetual "wait" state, judging by the "busy" mouse cursor. However, I can still back out of the directory, and e2 seems to return to normal... but there's still a problem. Somehow the act of trying to read that unreadable dir has set: pane2-sort-column=-2 Now, e2 is headed for a crash. If I attempt to reset the sort order by clicking one of the pane headers, e2 will crash right away. If I do not try to change sort order before quitting e2, I will get a segfault when I try to restart the application. I lost a few hairs before I saw what was happening here, and how to work around it. :) Oddly enough, I can't get it to segfault by resetting the sort order manually, if e2 has been compiled with DEBUG=1. I did get a gdb backtrace from a segfault at startup after the sort-column=-2 thing had been set on the last run of e2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- jnthn@:/tmp/emelfm2-tom-20060621$ gdb ./emelfm2 GNU gdb 6.3 Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
