Chitubox causing other aplications to crash - Its the culperit, sort it out!

Richard 2021-7-1 1669

So people are having all sort of issue with other software aplications crashing, when stl files are accessed/saved via the file browser.


Specifically, Cura crashes when you hit the load stl button, the button that opens a browser window, so you can navigate to the required file to import it.


Fusion360 also had some crashing issues. Whenever you saved a stl file, the browser window would open so you could select a location to save the file, but Fusion360 would just crash. -this has since been resolved I believe thanks to Fusion devs for updating with a fix.


I wanted to mention this because the only thing that seems to work is uninstalling Chitubox! Can you guys please investigate what is going on here because Chitubox seems to be the culperit for all these other aplication issues. I figured it could potentially be something to do with the thumbnail viewer you have used, but disabeling the thumbnail viewer appears to make no difference at all, and thumbnail images are still displayed anyway.

    @chutubox, can you investigate updating your stl thumbnail tool to QT5.15.2? Will this solve the problems everyone is having?

    I am having the same issue with 1.9 and the thumbnail viewer crashing Cura 4.10

    Cura has stated that it is not on their end of software that is causing the crashes. Please find a fix. I have to have both programs to operate two different style printers!

    It's the QT development platform that is making stuff crash--QT various versions have horrid backward compatibility with its own older versions. Instead of developing native code applications, Chitubox have chosen to use the QT platform and seem to be hell-bent on using he very latest "bleeding edge" version of same rather than seek long term stability. Chitubox Pro will not even run on some newer hardware and o/s combos.

    I have found v1.7.0 of the freebes package to be the least intrusive and most stable version of CB...
