1.4.5: XnViewMP hangs when saving TIF with LZW+Predictor

[mpy]

XnView MP Linux
Version 1.4.5 64bits (May 10 2023)
Libformat version 7.143

OS: Linux / Arch

When using the LZW+Predictor method for saving color TIF images, the saving hangs XnViewMP and corrupts the saved file. Other methods (LZW, ZIP, ...) work fine.

Effect: Program hangs, files are corrupted

To reproduce:
1. Settings -> Formats -> Write -> TIFF: Set "compression for color picture" to "LZW + Predictor"
2. Open an arbitrary (color) image
3. Save this image in TIF Format

Actual behaviour (bug): Saving dialog appears, but does never complete, program hangs until killed. Resulting TIF-File is corrupt; if you use "Save" to update an existing TIF file this file gets destroyed

Expected behaviour: Saving is done correctly.

Thanks, I tested the Windows version. Bug fixed
I'll test the Linux version (where I originally observed the bug) as soon it is available.

I can confirm that this bug is also fixed in the Linux version 1.5.0, thanks
