VLC 1.1.8 crash on open file

[Mike Schneider]

Hi,

I'm running:
VLC media player 1.1.8 The Luggage (revision exported)
VLC-Version 1.1.8 The Luggage (exported)
Kompiliert von abuild auf 3120-3560.ams.tmf-group.com (Apr 4 2011 19:32:45)
Compiler: gcc version 4.5.1 20101208 [gcc-4_5-branch revision 167585] (SUSE Linux)

on a 64 bit OpenSuse 11.4 system with KDE 4.6.0 / QT 4.7.1

Just starting vlc and clicking on "Open file" reliably crashes vlc (see backtrace below). However, pressing Ctrl+O opens the file dialog without problems. After closing the file dialog, the menu entry also works. But: clicking open file without having the dialog opened at least one via the keyboard-shortcut crashes reliably.

KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work

Did you solve this problem because I have same problem too.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

This is fixed in more recent KDE versions.
