[Qgis-user] Re: GDAL Tools and QGIS 1.5 segmentation fault

[Gary Smith]

I am not sure whether this is a problem with the Gdal tools plugin or 
with the QGIS application, but I worked out how to overcome it. In case 
it might help anyone else here is the solution.

In the dialogBase.py file there is a section which renames the file to a 
".bat" if the platform is windows. I don't know why this is causing the 
seg fault - I assume that the "if" statement is failing but commenting 
out the offending lines works for me.

      # on Windows replace the .py with .bat extension
#      if platform.system() == "Windows" and pluginCommand[-3:] == ".py":
#        self.command = pluginCommand[:-3] + ".bat"
#      else:
      self.command = pluginCommand
