It's the first time that happens... but today,  each time I use the fill tool opentoonz crashes .
I reinstalled opentool, I created a new project but each time I want use the fill tool ...the same result.
If someone has had the same problem and found the solution..it would be great ;)

It seems to be the same crash bug as reported in here .
It is fixed in the latest nightly build which is available here .

If you cannot update the software for some reasons, try the following for tentative workaround, :
  • Launch OpenToonz
  • Create a new ToonzRaster Level and select it.
  • Select Fill Tool and change to the "Areas" mode.
  • Close program.
  • Run OT again.
Please note that the OT will crash again if you close the software with "Lines" mode being active in Fill Tool.

Hi Shun,
Thank you for your answer and your solution ;)
Before your answer I  tried to install only the nightly version...if you just install opentoonz without delete opentoonz 1.2 stuff folder you crash again. But if you delete this folder before the reinstall all tools are avaible again.
I'm not a developper ...  it's may be a problem with a temp file. What ever thank again for your answer and if my solution can help someone it's would be nice too.

Before I install a new build I usually delete everything in the stuff folder except for the profiles folder (and I use one of the alternate project locations). It definitely minimizes installation problems.

Hi Olivier,

OpenToonz remember the tool state in personal settings and reproduce it on the next launch.
Installing OT again will NOT remove the personal settings.
( Even if you actives "Overwrite all setting files in the Stuff folder except user's personal settings" checkbox in the Windows version installer, it will literally keep the personal settings unchanged. )

This crash occurs if you finished OT with "Lines" mode being selected in Fill Tool. On next launch, OT tries to reproduce the "Lines" mode and crashes when initializing Tool Options interface for Toonz Vector level, because there is an option which is available only in Toonz Raster level. 
It was my fault as I could not detect the bug when I added such option. So sorry for the trouble!

Hi Shun,
Don't be sorry, your work is amazing and I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only to find OT like a great software and for bugs OT's community is here for help not for criticize...I really think when you want create animations OT is a wonderfull gift.

Very interesting.

This could be a source of a lot of startup crashes.

Note to self!

Thanks for figuring this out.
