I could reproduce this on fresh F7 installation, but not on updated. Please try to update your F7 installation, maybe it helps.
Actually, my box is already running that latest Evo (from updates-testing - see original report above). Must be something else. There is a whole set of updates today, so I'll bump everything up first and report back.
Sorry, forgot to mention that the rest of the box is also always kept up to date. But we'll see what happens after today's updates...
Yes, even after updates, I can trigger a crash on 3 different systems. Two of them are i686 machines, one is x86_64. Maybe it's relevant - all of these machines were upgraded from FC6. Is there anything you can suggest I remove in ~/.evolution directory that may help? I found with both Exchange connector (x86_64 machine) and IMAP (the other two), I needed to remove local mail related files (i.e. ~/.evolution/mail/(imap|exchange)/<account>) in order to stop some mail related crashes. Maybe you have a clean F7 machine that doesn't have such problems...
You've right, it crashes even after update, I test it on my test installation. Unfortunately it works when compiled from actual trunk, so I'll investigate more and let you know.
I found that this is because of wrong filter.glade, it looks like that at least, because when I put into my /usr/share/evolution/2.10/glade/ this file from actual svn trunk, then all works fine. I will talk to Matt and let you know then.
Still there in 2.10.3-1.fc7
It's still a problem with evolution-2.10.3-2.fc7, and this is a box that was done as a fresh installation. I found the problem while trying to use a date as a parameter for a virtual search folder.
Looks to also be logged upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473592
This seems to be fixed in the latest upstream release.
Appears to work in F8. Thanks! PS. Given that the bug has been opened for F7, I won't close it.
Thanks for testing, I'm closing it as current release and pointing to Fedora 8 version.
(In reply to comment #13) > Thanks for testing, I'm closing it as current release and pointing to Fedora 8 > version. Well, I'm still using Fedora 7, Fedora 8 still isn't yet ready for use. I think the bug should remain open until it's fixed in Fedora 7, which is still a current release. Switching an entire OS release to fix a fault in one application just isn't a reasonable solution.
Fedora 8 has been available since September. Fedora 9 will be available in about a month. No more Evolution updates are scheduled for Fedora 7.
