[Qgis-user] problems with raster (merge, clip) and crash dumped

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

QGIS 2.18 is getting old but is does work well... I would consider updating.  Crash dumps in 2.18 were often in that version.  I believe the usual  course of action is to look at plugins that could cause the crash when QGIS is shut down.  I got tired of that problem so I basically ignored it. 

I would first look at the name of the file in case you have Latin characters like ñ or spaces in the file name or file path.   You could try setting Windows locals to US English to see if that changes something but the problem is probably the file name and path.
