No longer functional

[T Turner]

I can not open any file, when I select open the application freezes. I'm running the latest beta 5 64bit build but have tried an older build and both freeze when attempting to open a file.

OS: CachyOS (arch linux variant)

Desktop: KDE (tried wayland and X with same outcome)

Is there something I can do to diagnose this further, when launched from terminal I get nothing when the application freezes so I'm unsure how to proceed.

Hello Tim!

Please install the package ‘zenity’ and try again. Let us know.

I too have this very issue. Zenity 4.2.1 is installed and in my path. 

If I run zenity in terminal: 

zenity --file-selection \
  --title="Open File" \
  --file-filter="*.lua *.stl *.obj *.3ds" \
  --file-filter="All files | *"

I get a working dialog, which is hijacked by ranger on my system.

In IceSL, if zenity is used for file selection dialogs, why might it behave differently?

I have used IceSL on linux for a long time now. I have always ran it under xwayland and had no issue.

Wish I could debug this and knew more to do so. But then again I may know how to. Maybe with a little wisdom here I can resolve this. IceSL has been my primary slicer and I value it to the point of being stubborn to not print at all.

Hi Ryan. As far as I am aware, this happens with very recent versions of Linux where this Zenity library is hanging.

What Linux are you using? I might try to get a machine nobody is using, install it and debug it!

Hi Salim,

I am using NixOS 26.05.20251221.a653104 (Yarara)

I did find this PR and am trying a workaround.

That would be fantastic if you would have a look. Certainly preferable to having a workaround that may break something later.

Sincerely,

Ryan
