When preview files with some app through IE

Post by jacky »

Bug that crashed XY (RT error#438: Object doesn't support this property ot method) when previewing a file inside some application through IE (I mean Office files that got previews that way, like *.doc;*.rtf;*.xls;*.pdf;....)

Crash happens when you click on the "Address" label, which usually switch to "Title" with IE. Doesnt happen for me with PDF (Foxit Reader), might be cause the label stays on "Searching" and never get to "Title" so the click doesnt do nothing there.

Not sure if this happens with other applications as well, but with Word it does all the time here. And, if I prevew an HTM and click to see the Title, then preview a DOC --> crash. (guess it tries to get the Title then, which would makes sense)

BTW:
- I just found out Shift+clicking that label opens the file in the application (browser, but also Word, Foxit, etc) : pretty damn cool if you ask me! :D
- Which makes me say, regarding my Catalog URLs in preview wish, using Ctrl would be best (as shift here does the opposite)

Yep, I see it but...

XLS file, no crash - Address / Title works.

RTF & DOC files always crash.

PDF open in Adobe and stay on Address.

Preview HTML then PDF, can't reproduce that but I suspect it's due to me using Adobe rather than Foxit.

Oops.. no, my mistake (edited first post btw). I meant preview an HTML, switch to title and then preview a DOC!
