Button issue with Purging images about artofillusion HOT 2 CLOSED

does not properly reset the image dialog buttons when the selected image is deleted

Actually it does'n matter if the selected image was among the deted or not. What happens is that purge sets none selected, but the state of the buttons is not updates, so if the button was active before purge, it tries to open details the details window without an image...

The fix is to add hilightButtons as the last statement in private void purge(), lines 249 - 254.

I found another little gitch too. If you try to open an file with the extension .hdr and the file is something else there is an uncaught error, that will interrupt the loading. It interrups a multimple image load too, without loading anything.

The error should be handled so, that the images, that can be loaded would still be loaded and the user is notified about those that were not.

Edit: Taking the fix to the original issue a bit further, purge could check if the selected image was deleted or not. Now it simply sets none selected. :) -- And still hilightButtons() needs to be called after purge().

Got that. Removed return from the catch block. That unnecessrily interrupted the entire loading process.

Q: Does it make any sense to printStackTrace() in cases like this. We know where the error happened and the output tells very little (or the way I see it , nothing) of, what was wrong with the file. The listed command-chain through all the java-libraries is hardly anything that helps or that we could do anything about.
