Description Darius Žitkevičius 2006-01-03 09:27:58 UTC

Version:           0.12.2 (using KDE 3.4.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu1 )
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-9-k7

To reproduce you need more than 4 GB DVD disk and try to save their image to FAT32 partition. K3B saves 4 GB and then craches silently.

I tried to save an image with dd and get the following error message:
File size limit exceeded

I think k3b shuld show some error message in this case inseat of crashing.

Thank you.

K3b uses QFile to write the image file. So the crash should be caused by QT.

"Crashes silently" is anti-thetical: either it crashes, or it's silent.

Which one is it? If it crashes (and, therefore, you get a backtrace from the Dr Konqi window), please paste the backtrace here.

Confirmed with Ubuntu 6.06.

The crash occour when I'm using one partition VFAT to store my DVD image and the size of have more then 4.0 GB.

On Windows, when I try to use FAT32 to store my image, the program (like Nero) divide the file of 4.4 GB in 03 files with 2.0 GB, 2.0 GB and 400 MB, he never try to get a big file, and I think that k3b would be the same :-)

This is very important because some people (like me :) only have space on vFAT partition shared with all OS's running (in my case: Windows XP, Mandriva, Ubuntu) and vFAT is the easyier way to share data between all...

Many thanks!
