When I saved the same stuff in a different folder it worked. First I did it in my home directory which already contained some pictures and I tried some 10 times it kept crashing when I was selecting jpeg from the type drop down list. Then I save it on my desktop which didnt have any pictures and it worled in the first try itself.
Looks like a kfiledialog problem.
Here Using KDE4.1.3 ,Qt4.4.3 on ArchLinux x86_64: I can't reproduce it.(Saving the screenshot on a folder (no matter if it contains *.jpg/*.jpeg files , or not), selecting JPEG file in the file filter combo, and saving the image, doesn't trigger the crash). May be it'ś related to some images in the folder in which your trying to save the screenshot?. Have you tried saving the images in another folder with another set of images already on it
I can reproduce the problem. I tried it in another folder which had one picture in it, and it worked no crash. Then I tried removing the pictures in my home folder and it worked, no crash. Then I restored the pictures in my home folder and tried it crashed!! These are the picture in my home folder which caused the crash earth.jpeg firefox.png inqui.jpeg okular.jpeg Then I tired it in another folder with a number of pictures which were jpg and there also it worked. Then in the picture list I remove png file and tested it crashed!!! So I believe its the firefox.png which caused the crash.
@Jithin: can you try using KDE 4.2 beta2 with debug symbols enabled: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
Hi Jithin: Can you start KSnapshot from Konsole, and after you have reproduced the crash, paste here the Konsole output ? (specially the "ASSERT" line). Thanks :)
I cannot reproduce the issue with kde 4.2 beta 2
@Jithin Emmanuel: thanks :) Closing as WORKSFORME
