Crash upon opening Multicommander

[AlanJB]

OK.  I've been able to reproduce this (several times).

Steps to reproduce:

  1 Create a folder D:\Audio with several folders of audio files (some .mp3, some .flac)
  2 Unzip a brand new MC x64 portable into a new, empty directory (C:\Temp)
  3 One tab in each panel. One rooted at C:\, one rooted at D:\Audio
  4 Add column "Total Length" to the D:\Audio tab
  5 Browse the audio files (including select/unselect/get properties) - no problem
  6 Hit Tab to move to the other panel (C:\) fatal crash - no error report sent
  7 In addition, most of the MC Config folder was trashed (to be expected, I guess)

See screenshots attached.

4. do you save the column so both panel get that columns ?

"Total Length" will go recursive and doing it it root of C:\ maybe causing something

[AlanJB]

Hi Mathias.

Yes, the column layout was saved  as "Save current layout as default".  But shouldn't the irrelevant column be ignored if it does not apply to the file type?  Explorer does that...

Maybey SusanG should  let us know if that is her setup.  Hey, Susan!

"Total Length" scan folders recursively and show the total length of all audio in the folder.
So we don't know if it is irrelevant or not until we scanned the folder.

Test the new Beta that are out later today. (2235+)
I fixed a possible buffer overrun issue that might have been triggered during this..

Well, all went well for about 30 minutes. Then I tabbed into a folder that contains only shortcuts (.lnk) and it crashed

Shall I send you the .dmp file?

I don't think the "tab" caused it because that is only change the focus. But all extra data field like length and stuff and going on in the background.
Did it not send dump automatic ?

Shortcut to files or folders ?

The mention of "tab" was just to give you context - I switched to the other Explorer Panel (ie. I hit the "tab" key).  I didn't imagine that was a problem.

The folder I switched to contains only .lnk files (all to programs).

MC crashed fatally and so was unable to invoke MultiCrashReport.exe, so - No, there was no crash report sent to you.

A folder Users\...\Appdata\local\CrashDumps was created (containing a xxx.dmp file) but that is now empty ?!  (Housekeeping software I guess).

BTW, I don't have any cats

[AlanJB]

Still no cats, but...

I just re-tested with build 2242, but this time I did not set the column layout with 'Length Total' as 'Default' - I set it only for the folders that contain audio files.

No crashes to date.

Looking good Mathias!
