It's fine for me, but that's in English. Gonna try the program in Italian, now. Can't see why it would fail though, that bit of code hasn't changed in a long time.

Could also be a problem due to a bad translation. I'll check it.

Nope. I set my language to Italian, installed Italian support to my Ubuntu build and it loaded fine.
Oh, you're using Windows. Hmmm - I'll try on my virtualbox Windows 7 in work.

I'm sure I have received a report of this bug before; but I'm not sure how it can happen. It could be due to bad characters in the translations; but I just checked the Italian ones and they're fine.

You're running the EXE version of the program which makes it difficult for you to report additional information - if you were running the source code I could ask you to stick some "print" statements in the program to output information that could help me figure out what's going wrong.

I just tried the program on Windows 7, with a system language of Italian. The program started up into Italian by default (hurrah - no need for users to set their language!) and I brought up the file dialog from File->Import->Image

No crash for me......kinda hard to see what's going wrong and where.

Yes, I used released 0.41 at the and of August. If I use this release in my desktop with the same file all is fine, but in my netbook Asus Eee PC with Win XP I have a crash with the error that I have send you before. I don't Know why.
But don't mind for now I'm working with release 0.39.3.
Thanks

It's a little discerning that uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it.

i'll be releasing 0.41.1 this weekend; there's a few bugs that crept in....whoops!

Glad to hear your problem's fixed
have a great weekend
