MITK crashes on clicking the "where dropdown" in the small-save-dialogue
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While working on osx 10.8.2, MITK crashes on clicking the
"where dropdown" in the Save-Dialogue.
This only occures while using the small-save-dialogue.

This is a huge problem as the user can not save any processed data at the place he wishes.

As far as I know this bug onlz appears on 10.8+ systems. Could you check that?

Changing serverity and priority since this is a Mac OS X 10.8 bug which is not yet supported by MITK

This is most likely a Qt bug. Apparently Qt uses the native file dialog which crashes on Mac OS X 10.8. We should try this with a different Qt version and check whether this bug is fixed.
Otherwise a solution would be to explicitly not use the native file dialog but the qt specific dialog. Informations about that could be found here: http://qt-project.org/doc/note_revisions/60/91/view

Adding the other Mac guys in CC.

Changed severity. If you cannot save data to a selected destination this is a blocker

This issue is already known by the Qt community. According to this thread:

http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/51625-QFileDialog-getSaveFileName()-issue-on-Max-OS-X-10-8

the QFileSaveDialog crashes if you pass filters to it. I tried to call the dialog without the filters and it worked. Unfortunately there are a lot of places in MITK where this has to be fixed...

Last week apple released a new update for Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
After installing this update the bug no longer exists. Apparently this was a issue of the Apple Finder.
