Error message "Missing branch back link"

Post by davidh »

When I try to close an image used as an overlay in Composite, filter in Filter, etc., while the dialog is open, PWP crashes. Sometimes I first get a message "Missing branch back link".

This however does not happen with Halftone (Sorry for comming back to it again.)
There is no error and the dialog does not get closed.

By the way, when you try to close an image used as a screen in Halftone, while the dialog is open, the process does not know about this dependency and offers only the options Cancel and Close the current image. So it allows you to close the screen image without closing the Halftone image - the screen control in the open dialog only turns gray.

The closing process seems to test only its downstream dependecies, since if you run it through a transformation, and then try to close it, you are offered the option to close with "..all images that depend on it..." Still, it closes only the downstream dependency, but not the Haltone thumbnail itself.
