Bug 457425

Cannot reproduce on Linux with current git master.

It has taken me some time to work through several issues, but I think the 3.6.0 is now a pretty good one.  Please check to see if it is improved.  Based on what you said here, I think you were having the issue with opening the Find Dialog which had been changed to load asynchronously in 3.6.0.  There was an issue in that code, so it was modified yesterday to no longer load items asynchronously.  The fix is now in both the current DMG on the Kstars kde website and the nightly releases.  So please check and I hope it is all better now.

Well, I finally caught a break after six weeks of cloudy nights, and the problem persists on my 27” iMac.  Trying to find something instantly crashes completely out of Kstars in 3.6.0.  I fought with 3.5.9 for three hours, after it suddenly decided it wouldn’t connect to my guide camera through PHD2 any more, before deciding to try 3.6.0 again.  At least I can click on things, but trying to find something results in an instant crash every time.

Oh, and it crashes no matter where it tries to search from, including the Scheduler.

Are you trying the latest dmg that I posted here?

https://edu.kde.org/kstars/#download

Because it definitely was doing what you described, but a more recent commit fixed the issue and put into the stable 3.6.0 and then I rebuilt the dmg and replaced the former file.

Oops.  I didn't.  Last night was a bust, windy and then clouds rolled in, and I didn’t take the cue that it was a new 3.6.0.  I don’t have everything fully up and running PHD2/remote MacBook/scope, but it didn’t crash when I tried it just now, so that’s promising.

Ok, it sounds like the Find Dialog Bug is fixed then.
