thanks! I uploaded in the official ubuntu repository for review, this is for sure candidate for a stable upload! thanks for reporting the bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to blender in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: ubuntustudio-bugs: blender https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1826180 Title: [SRU] blender: erases photoshop files Status in blender package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in blender source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in blender source package in Cosmic: In Progress Status in blender source package in Disco: In Progress Status in blender source package in Eoan: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] When simply accessing a folder that contains a Photoshop file, at least in thumbnail mode, as well as trying to open the file for viewing or using it as a texture, Blender turn the file in a ZERO kB file, essentially deleting it. This can affect directly users who haven't been keeping their original file on the working folder with the catastrophic scenario where they'll lose the original file. The proposed fix should be backported to Ubuntu 18.04, 18.10 and 19.04 as all of them are affected by this dangerous issue. This bug is caused by a Debian-specific patch. [Test Case] * Open Blender * Go to file browser (maybe change it to thumbnails) * Access a folder that contains a photoshop file * All photoshop files on that folder will be zeroed out and it's unrecoverable, nor there is any message. [Regression Potential] No regression should manifest as a result for this change. [Other Info] https://developer.blender.org/T63045 I posted this on the main ubuntu bug tracker but I have an impression they will tell me it's ubuntu mate's problem... so here is a copy of the bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blender/+bug/1822196 This was posted on Blender bug https://developer.blender.org/T63045 It was determined that it doesn't happen with the official downloadable release, only with the one installed through the Ubuntu. Here is the report as filed: System Information Operating system: Ubuntu mate, both 18.10 and 18.04.2 64 bits, Ryzen 7 2700x Graphics card: Radeon fury nano Blender Version: 2.79.b+dfsg0-1 from distro Short description of error When I simply access a folder that contains a photoshop file in thumbnail mode, as well as trying to open the file for viewing or using it as a texture, Blender turn the file in a ZERO kb file, essentially deleting it. Luckily I haven't been keeping my original file on the working folder but at one point this will be catastrophic and I'll lose an original file. Exact steps for others to reproduce the error Simply open Blender, go to file browser, change it to thumbnails, and access a folder on systems like mine that contains a photoshop file. This doesn't seem to happen on windows. All photoshop files on that folder will be zeroed out and it's unrecoverable, nor there is any message. I have tested this on many photoshop files (not intentionally, I always just forget that there's this huge bug and to make sure any folder I'm viewing doesn't have a photoshop file). All of them became zero kb and I had to find the source to recover. I'm not sure why I haven't seen people complaining about it but this is pretty major.
