[Bug: 21.5-b28] Crash when printing

Olle Olsson writes: These should be fixed to use the Windows print menu on Windows. I guess an alternative would be to install an lpr program from Cygwin or something (I'm just assuming that they exist, so don't kill yourself looking for one). Your version seems to be a vanilla 21.5.28 from the last beta release. If you're not using the latest sources from the Mercurial repository, you may wish to try those. (Mercurial is a Python program, and probably should work without trouble for this purpose on Windows. I recommend doing this since you have some interest in up-to-date XEmacsen.) See http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/hgaccess.html for more info. It appears that your OS is Windows XP (not Vista, which apparently brings a whole collection of new problems). Is that correct? Regarding the actual crash, this is somewhat helpful, but to get any further we'll need somebody to reproduce the crash under the debugger. It's probably the case that it crashed in a dialog because XEmacs handed Windows some parameter it didn't like, but until we can limit the possibilities via a stack trace, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. Would it be possible for you to run xemacs under a debugger and reproduce the crash, then send us a stack trace? (The whole thing, please, not just the last screenful of frames!) What did you expect to recover? "Recover session" here (AFAIK) simply looks for autosave files, it does not try to put your xemacs back into the state at which xemacs last checkpointed. I normally have 50-100 buffers in my process, with probably 25-50 files open, but none of my ~/.saves-* files has more than one pair of file-autosave in it! If you want to actually recover the state of xemacs as of a checkpoint, use desktop.el or session.el. I admit this is a poorly named command, but its history goes back into the 1980s at least so I think that we can't complain too much. Actually, we'd prefer you keep reporting bugs. :-) In general, XEmacs 21.5 is quite stable on Windows AFAIK (I don't use Windows at all). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
