100% way to crash Xtreme (NULL pointer)

[instinctive.de]

Thought this might be useful to the devs.

1. Create photo document
2. Import image
3. Activate "Mask mode"
4. Draw a closed shape
5. Draw a second closed shape inside the first shape
6. "Combine Shapes" -> "Substract Shapes" (I would have expected the top shape to create a hole in the mask created by the bottom shape, like in does with "manual mask mode" ;-), but this does not work)
7. Undo
8. Serious Error from Xtreme - Access Violation exception at 0x00000000

If you are wanting to make a frame for your photo surely the wat to do this is to do the following:
1. Draw your 2 rectangles
2. Select both rectangles
3. Hold down Ctrl+2 (Subtract Shapes)
4. Fit your photo to suit frame

Actually no, what I wanted is to cut out an object of a photo. First the coarse shape; then I wanted to remove some additional 'holes' in it.

Yes, the way I normally do it is to just use the shape editor to draw the desired shape, substract as needed, and then intersect it with the photo.

This time however, I wanted to try out the feature that is "intended" to do such stuff (which is mask mode, if you ask me) - and the bug report is still valid

[handrawn]

the mask help refers specifically to combine shapes but no reference at all on intersect/subtract/slice - so rather unsupported than bug?

not sure what advantage it would give in this respect if it was operational?

[handrawn]

scrub that - there is a reference to slice.......

Sorry, but a NULL pointer dereference is ALWAYS a bug ;-)
