pos file for board placements cannot be imported - openpnp (20240319 test version)

[Balázs Kiss]

Hi!

We can not import a placement file (kicad .pos) to a board. If I open the file open dialog, it does not list the .pos files sometimes - and if it does, it freezes after clicking import. I have to kill openpnp.

Did anyone notice a problem like we did?

We are updateing now to latest test release...to see how it goes.

Update: 20240618 version also has the issue. We use JAVA 17, with ubuntu linux btw.

Best regards,

Balazs

I made some research and test. All the open file dialog processes are affected by the error. In the log:

I use Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) with OpenPNP 2024-06-18 14:31 test version, with java:

openjdk version "17.0.11" 2024-04-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.11+9-Ubuntu-123.10.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.11+9-Ubuntu-123.10.1, mixed mode, sharing)

I tried wayland and Xorg, both are freezing, if I am to browse files. How can I help further?
