compiz crashed with signal 7 in g_file_get_uri()

Sorry about the initial comment but the crash took my keyboard out also so could olny copy/paste the title.

Crash happened when I dragged the unity.cpp file from the source to the geany icon on unity launcher.

The screen froze apart from mouse for 2 mins then I got a crash notification and lost decorations and keyboard.

Will try to reproduce now

Yes reproducible each time.

@Andrew: could you re-test the lastest version of unity and confirm if the crash still occurs.

Also, can you clarify from where you do drag the file: nautilus, dash?
Thanks

So obviously I am not Andrew but this happens to me If I drag a file from Nautilus.
In my case it happens with an *.svg file, that I drag to the Inkscape launcher.

With Beta1 and all updates up to today it is still an issue although it
recovers the compiz crash far more eloquently now.

screen shot attached.

How to reproduce:
1) Install geany
2) start geany and pin to launcher
3) close geany
4) create a blank file on the desktop called test.cpp
5) drag file to geany launcher icon

What Happens:
Compiz restarts after lots of screen flicker.

cheers,

Interesting that Achim had the same issue with svg -> Inkscape so I thought it could be a wider issue, I tested the following with out any issues:

odt -> libre office
txt -> gedit
html -> chromium
html -> firefox
deb -> software centre
mp3 -> banshee

All successful so not sure why Geany and Inkscape have this issue but it is the only ones I could find so far.

Any other you want me to test?

After reading Andrew's comment above, I thought: Is the Inkscape desktop file flawed in some way making it difficult for Unity to match up the MIME Types?

Probably the list there is too long or isn't following the Desktop file syntax. Opening a task against Inkscape.

The same happens when dragging an image file on Shutter's launcher icon.

Let's see when the fix gets released. I can reproduce this behavior everytime trying to drag video files to UMPlayer in the lancher

Confirmed Fixed, I have tested cpp drag to geany and all works well.

Great work guys!
