Inkscape shutting down when trying to access certain file formats

Asked by joan brattlof

When I open Inkscape to files using Jpeg formats the entire program shuts down saying it has encountered a problem. I am choosing the "all files" catagory at the side of the screen. It does not happen when I choose inkscape files.

Hi Joan,

Really looks like bug #271401 (inkscape crashes on import of corrupted PNG), which will be fixed in Inkscape 0.48.
Would you be willing to try the development version (http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D) and confirm that your issue is also fixed? You just need to uncompress the 7zip file and run it directly from the uncompressed folder.

Thanks!

Can you help with this problem?
