Anyone else getting crashes when saving/save as a scene file? I get it repeatedly, with the following error (which I'm told is due to snapshot galleries)
This happens on 18.5.376 and 18.5.385. I have no Snapshot gallery images, the gallery is closed, and the galleries directory in my $HIP location has been removed.
Given that the scene that this happens in has never made a snapshot or used the gallery, I would assume that each scene upon save is looking in the directory where all snapshots are saved, and trying to resolve said snapshot info into the scene file. Perhaps it doesn't like that there is no $HIP/galleries dir?
This has been a very tricky one for us to reproduce too, and it seems to come in waves. Like it will be fine for a while and then suddenly this crash will start happening, and often producing tracebacks to the gallery.

This is the same story in our case. The user has never even unstowed the Render Gallery panel.
So we've been using 18.5.427 and up to now I don't think we've hit this until today. The start of the trace is a bit different but the same crashing area it seems:

Hmmm. I can't seem to reproduce the crash.
Could you give the latest H18.5 build a try and see if that crashes? Also, do you have any rough, reproducible test steps?
Based on the stack trace, the crash is happening when saving the .hip file but the crash must depend on some sequence of steps leading up to the save.
rvinluan Hmmm. I can't seem to reproduce the crash.
It is notoriously difficult to repro this reliably. We have experienced this intermittently here at work and it's like a ninja. Just pops up out of nowhere (we stopped using the render gallery a while ago because of the apparent connection), even if no changes to the desktop are made. It will wreck us for a while then go away, then pop up again 3 weeks later. No idea what we're doing to trigger it.
On one occasion, after experiencing this crash on save, I got a crash on open when I tried to reload the file. I relaunched Houdini and tried again and it re-opened the file without trouble.
