FF 4.05 Color control bug when activating "allow images" crashes FE (Filter Editor) but not FF itself and does not give any error message or bug report.

Hello, I have opened this well done filter Splats by Squideey in the filter editor

1 - Search the 2 color controls and activate the "allow images"

2 - Go to "filter controls" inside filter editor and then go to "settings" tab

3 - Try to change any of the color controls to include an image

4 - The filter editor will close inmediately BUT FF window will remain

5 - If now you try to open again the filter editor you can´t, it is grayed out and then also all the settings of the "settings" tab have been deleted.

6 - To be able to activate again the filter editor and recover the settings tab, you just go and select another filter, wait a second, and then select again the Splats filter, and now is fine again, so now if you again to point 1, it happens again all the same.

SAVING THE FILTER WITHOUT MODIFYING IMAGES INSIDE FE

1 - Open the filter in Filter Editor

2 - Search the 2 color controls and activate the "allow images"

3 - Save the filter with another name

4 - Close filter editor and go to settings tab and you can now change the images of the color control without crash

This is very similar to another error that happened IF this was inside a group, but it seems that it happens also outside of a group but only crashes FE

In fact you can make this bug simply using the color control attach it to the results component...It will do the same thing.... smile;) smile:)

I tried to get any error message or bug report and in 5 times I have tried, it ONLY crashed filter editor and nothing else happens,did not crash FF, so this is why I have put another thread as it was different from the other, although I agree that this may be possibly related to the other similar bug inside groups.

OH yes, this is a much, much simpler version smile:D and you are right that doing this way I get the Bug report I could not get above on my other example, although I get a different one as the one you have shown as you can see below

What is curious is that it only happens when you go to "filter controls" and then settings tab inside filter editor, because if instead you click on the color control and choose to change the image it will work right

Looks very similar to what CFandM posted. Should be fixed in the nearest minor update due Thursday or Friday.

Thanks, I have already installed it, and it works well and the warning messages are not there anymore, also have seen that now you can´t load any image inside the color control while you are inside a group, you must go outside to be able to load it, I suposse that this was the problem.
