Immediate crash upon ok following stitched Panorama

[Mici]

The tool crashes immediately upon pressing OK when having stitched a set of photos in a panorama. I.e. the program is able to select and stitch the photos and provide a preview. However, upon pressing OK it crashes almost immediately. The only work-around is to disable hardware-acceleration

• is repeatable with different sets of images
• occurs every time

Hello @Mici and welcome to the forums.

Congratulations, you found the solution yourself.

This is not a solution, that's a work-around! Working on large Panoramas without HW acceleration is a no go. Even a piece of free-ware like the gimp is able to use HW acceleration on this setup. So please contribute with something more helpful.

Hardware acceleration is a new function that was only introduced with version 1.9 and unfortunately does not work with every hardware combination at the moment.

So it is the only solution at the moment.

Perhaps you could also give the latest Beta a shot. A lot of improvements with regard to HW acceleration have been implemented. Runs fine for me.

Success!

Hello Mici,

Do you have a crash report at all?

We don't support running on a VM but it might be worth sending it over to the developers if you cannot run the apps natively.
