Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux OS: Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala, 64-bit version. I downloaded "Kstars" using Ubuntu software center. Go to : (From main menu) --> Tools --> Calculator --> Coordinate Converters --> * (any of the listed options) --> Batch mode --> Input file --> enter a random input file. I expected that if the file was not what the program expected, an information message would appear and the application would continue to run. Instead of this, the application crashed. (I'll post the backtrace, after I install valgrind)
You can get backtraces without installing valgrind : http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

This bug should be closed as Fixed, because in Kstars 1.6.0 it doesn't crash ant it show a message about an invalid file. Only one thing could be done. The Run button could be disabled until you put info about both of those files, just like in all the entries from [Time Calculators]. P.s [Solar system] -> [Planet Coordinates] doesn't crash, but it doesn't show Invalid File dialog, when Run is pressed.
This crash report is at least 3 years old and there were no further comments or status updates since then. Therefore we believe that this crash is already fixed in recent KDE 4 versions or the backtrace is no longer applicable to the current KDE 4 sources. If the crash still happens with a recent KDE version (4.10.5 or 4.11), please add an updated backtrace or provide steps to reproduce. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports (To prevent automatic closing of this bug in the future, please set the bug status to ASSIGNED or CONFIRMED)
