David,
Thank you. Tried to retrieve an existing image from the previous 9/15/2019 version and got this message:
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
Tried opening a different image and got the same message.
Are you trying to run full screen? Try using one of the video modes on the <DEL> screen. I had tried to get the window resizing to work with the windows manager (drag the corners/sides or click the full screen icon) but ended up crashing more often than not. Gave up on that. If the video mode will load from the <DEL> screen, it should work. In the long ago past, we had always distributed Xfractint as source code due to the many variations in Linux environments. The executable is obviously set up to run on my machine. I didn't add any machine specific optimizations, but I also didn't force a generic compile that should run on a generic architecture. I may have to go back to providing the source for Xfractint. I have created a Make file, so it would be a matter of installing the development packages for GCC, NASM, SDL2, and SDL2-ttf.
Tried to edit a palette and got message:
editpal.c out of memory
That worked when I tried it again.
The palette editor has problems. It hasn't been high on my list.
PageUp doesn't bring up a zoom box.
Clicking and dragging with the mouse produced a small, fixed-size box. Dragging the mouse to enlarge it gave me a segmentation fault error.
PageUp should work. The key repeat you would normally see if you held a key down doesn't work too well (until you release the key). If you left click and hold the mouse, then drag the cursor, the zoom box should expand. It should zoom in as soon as you release the mouse button. Full screen video mode is problematic with regard to zooming with the mouse. Jonathan
