Bitmap Export crashes when trying to type filename

Post by jimbofoxman » Fri Jul 16, 2021 3:54 pm

I just purchase and installed the commercial site QCAD Pro yesterday, version 3.26.4. Only have it on 4 machines as of now. We do a Bitmap Export on all our drawings as we use a JPG in our quoting software. I have one machine that when you click on Bitmap Export the dialog window pops up but as soon as you try type a file name or click on the filename is crashes the program. On my machine it works just fine, no issues with the Bitmap Export. But this one machine it fails every time.

All machines are running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. I did do an Uninstall and an Install.

Anyone have any thoughts? Is their an error log?

Most likely it's the system file dialog that is broken on that machine.

You can switch to a non-native (Qt based) file dialog under:
Edit > Application Preferences > File > Open/Save > Use system file dialog (untick)
