If a list includes a column which takes time to calculate, or XYplorer is set to open by default with the samne layout as in the last session, inevitably sometimes it will try to calculate a column that isn't wanted for the current task. Simple examples: H x W for a folder of a few thousand images, or SHA1 for a largeish folder of any kind, also perhaps a remembered format for a FIND view.
The UI allows you to remove these columns mid-calculation, if this happens. But if you try and do so, XYplorer crashes, and I suspect it's not intended that it should ;-)
It would be good if it handled this gracefully, and simply removed the column + ceased trying to calculate values for any more items in the list, but didn't crash
It also might be a nice thing, if it acted more like it does on the search screen, with an explicit hint: "calculating columns, press ESC to end".

Re: crashes if columns change while column contents being calculated
Bad crash and good points. Next version should be better!
