[Gretl-users] Repeatable Gretl crash

Hi Allin and the gretl team I’ve discovered a new situation where gretl crashes. I’m using the "latest release (Jun 5, 2025) gretl-2025b-macos-intel.pkg” When I save a file without navigating throw the file manu, and instead by dragging a file from the folder where I wanted to save, to the save window as a way to let gretl knows the folder that I’m saving to, the bottem of the saving window missing the file format, instead of showing .gdt, so gretl doesn’t know the file format that I’m going to save and then it crashes. This is repeatable. 1 let gretl open a file like cars.gdt in POE4 folder 2 select “file”-> “save data as” 3 dragg a file from the folder that I wanted to save, to the gretl save window. Sometimes it crashes right away, sometimes it crashes when I hit the save button. Here is the first few lines of the crash report: ------------------------------------- Translated Report (Full Report Below) ------------------------------------- Process: gretl [23418] Path: /Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/MacOS/gretl Identifier: net.sourceforge.gretl Version: 2025b Code Type: X86-64 (Native) Parent Process: launchd [1] User ID: 502 Date/Time: 2025-06-24 07:32:55.5588 +0800 OS Version: macOS 14.7.4 (23H420) Report Version: 12 Bridge OS Version: 9.3 (22P3051) Anonymous UUID: D0C17D83-C8DE-88A8-08E7-19E42233A73F Sleep/Wake UUID: 92D70123-4A7D-4756-8B2B-077DC0B0EBB4 Time Awake Since Boot: 120000 seconds Time Since Wake: 2945 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Terminating Process: exc handler [23418] VM Region Info: 0 is not in any region.
