Becuse normally a crash report is sent and a dialog shown with a crash ID if MC is just terminated..crash reportThere is no crash report because the MultiCommander instance is terminated without any message. The window closes, and the executable is terminated without any message. I have no preview software installed in Windows, and some services may be disabled. I use Adobe Reader and ABBYY FineReader for PDFs. It would be better for MultiCommander to operate independently and not rely on Windows features that may be disabled by users.
All windows have Preview software installed... A lot of them are built from microsoft. If you can show preview in Windows Explorer you have them installed, MC uses the same preview handlers..
Both AdobeReader and FineReader is normally installing its own Preview Handler for PDF.. So then MC is using that via the WindowsPreviewHandler API..
If MC would not use built in features would be a waste. Why invent the wheel again?. It would also take enormous amount of extra work. Parsing and rendering for example PDF are a a very huge and complex task. It is a project that is as big as the rest of MC.
It is just really not possible.
