Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
I installed APP 1.075 on my linux box, opened an old jpg image of m3 I once took. Attempted to run light pollution tool on it. Trying to "Show Corrected Image" threw an exception, a strange swingy one:
Encountered error in module:
CreateLightPollutionModelAndShowResultTask
Error message:
java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.TextAreaPainter cannot be cast to java.awt.Insets
Cause:
javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.TextAreaPainter cannot be cast to java.awt.Insets
javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthTextFieldUI.updateStyle(SynthTextFieldUI.java:131)
javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthTextAreaUI.updateStyle(SynthTextAreaUI.java:102)
javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthTextAreaUI.installDefaults(SynthTextAreaUI.java:75)
javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTextUI.installUI(BasicTextUI.java:787)
Is this a consistent bug popping up?
Hi Shlomi,
What Linux distribution are you running? I am on Ubuntu 18.04 with no problems.
My laptop is 2 years old, purchased from System 76.
Â
@oopfan I also have a System76 machine (unfortunately, I really don't like their machines!), but with 16.04.
@vincent-mod No, it is not consistent.. Actually, I just tried to reproduce it but couldn't.. However, since the exception is of a "Casting" type on Swing components (the UI), it does not look like its data oriented (depending on the images being processed), so I suspect it still lurks out there. Unfortunately, the short stack trace snippet that was shown in the error window does not give anything into APP code..
If I can reproduce it I will dump the entire log in here.
Thanks!
