Hi

If I create a new file, select a map image and GPX route and then click
on OK, quickroute just hangs indefinitely without using much CPU. The
same happens when I open a QRT file created on Windows. The same map
image and GPX track work just fine in the Windows version of Quickroute.

There is an exception stacktrace in .config/QuickRoute/QuickRoute.log
(attached).

If you need the map image and GPX track to reproduce the bug I can send
them to you by private mail or upload them somewhere.

Opening the JPG exported from Quickroute on Windows to our DOMA
archive [1] works also on Debian.

P.S.: Thanks for packageing Quickroute. I was very pleasantly surprised
when I discovered that it's now available in Debian. I hope this issue
can be resolved. And as you seem to know .Net and Mono I would also be
very pleased if you would package PurplePen. If you need help with
packageing or a sponsor for an upload I would be glad to assist.

Hi Gaudenz,

The state of the overall Mono ecosystem in somewhat orphaned by
upstream since around 2019 [1]. GUI applications are especially
affected by this. Also, there was a low-level issue affecting Mono's
(de-)serialization, that made .qrt files produced by the Linux version
of QuickRoute not entirely compatible with the Windows version or DOMA.
I am afraid, the most reliable approach nowadays is to run QuickRoute
(the official, Windows-based version) through wine.

Thanks,
Kristóf
