XYplorer keeps crashing :(
Getting this often. v17.30. I think it's happening often and at random when I close the program. Is there a debug version I can run to see what's going on?

It happens only when you close the program?

Re: XYplorer keeps crashing :(
Yes, it's not reproducible 100% because it happens at random. I actually reset my Xyplorer and re-tuned slightly not too long ago too. It's very annoying to say the least.admin wrote:It happens only when you close the program?
I think my #1 concern with XYplorer at this point is not new features or interface -- it's stability. I have a unimaginable amount of respect for you admin for creating this wonderful gem of software, but I would recommend hammering the bugs out. :[
Is there anything I can do other than looking at patterns to try and help fix the bug?

For starters I would recommend you tick this:
Configuration | Menus, Mouse, Safety | Context Menus | Hide shell extensions from shell context menu

Re: XYplorer keeps crashing :(
OK, thanks for trying.
So you still can sometimes a crash when closing XY. Could it be related with using Help or not? In other words, does it only crash when you pressed F1 during the session?

It might be connected to Save Settings. What if you select menu File | Save Settings? Crash?

Just tried this about 73 times back to back and no crash.admin wrote:It might be connected to Save Settings. What if you select menu File | Save Settings? Crash?
Please know admin that I use ALT + F4 when closing XYplorer. Don't know if that helps?

Maybe that's a hint. I never do this.stisev wrote:Just tried this about 73 times back to back and no crash.admin wrote:It might be connected to Save Settings. What if you select menu File | Save Settings? Crash?

Just saw (remembered) that ALT + F4 is a Windows standard key for closing the foreground window. It is also assigned to "Exit (Saving)" in XY. So there is a double assignment which might cause the trouble. You can remove XY's internal ALT + F4 via Tools | Customize Keyboard Shortcuts... (Shift+F9), and then ALT + F4 (via Windows) will still do the same job. Try it, maybe this is the solution!

Hi admin,
I made the changes you requested and will report back either way. Give me at least a week to be thorough

Re: XYplorer keeps crashing :(
OK, here's the thing. I tried to defect to Q-Dir, but honestly XYplorer is the best
Xyplorer continues to crash even though I started with fresh install and re-tuned.
I have decided to go to a completely 100% fresh portable install and use that instead in testing for the crash. If it does crash, that means it is an XYplorer problems. I must say the default install is much much faster on opening using Hotkey (ALT+X) I use via Eventghost to launch Xyplorer. I think it has something to do with the network folder I put in my favorites, but can't be sure.

Re: XYplorer keeps crashing :(
It starts faster on a Hotkey than otherwise? Hard to believe.
And remember to hide shell extensions to better isolate the issue.

Without question it is faster, although it is a split second difference. Believe me, the way I use XYplorer, that half second is like an eternity.admin wrote:It starts faster on a Hotkey than otherwise? Hard to believe.

This is really great software. I am going to re-explore the whole thing again and see what I've missed over the years. I love that it's portable and stealth.
Thank you admin for all your hard work on it. <3 U!
