That was what happened here in my single quick non-confirming test of this. XY refreshed to Computer instead of the removed drive.

Nope, tree jumps to root "MyPC" followed by list update.

Arghh, after the fresh instance is closed the parent one doesn't want to crash anymore. :shock:

Uarghh, after restarting XY it's back again. :?

It did, just only once (I already had written my :appl: message).
But never again...ever since the crashing ..... Could it be related?

Hard to say. We are at the dark side of Windows. I will try some other devices to repro it...

Give me your devices. :mrgreen:

Since it didn't crash with a freshed instance, any idea what setting/data section could be the culprit? Where could I start to look for?

Not really. Just 2 faint hopes:

1) Maybe this recently fixed bug?

Code: Select all

    ! Portable Devices: Custom Columns could leak into lists on Portable 
      Devices. Fixed.
In your current tab go to a PC location and then back to the PD. This should remove all Custom Columns (if there were any).

2) Turn off auto-refresh. Does F5 crash it then?

Also, the issue mentioned by someone else a few pages back in this thread, about unlocking a connected device and seeing no automatic refresh, is still present in the latest builds.
1. icon support? Got a link to that report?
2. No, I could not repro that.

I can reproduce this, but I'm pretty sure it works as expected since Suspend Auto-Refresh seems to be forced to enabled on Computer and within the portable device. Even in a fresh instance when I enable Auto-Refresh and Include Network locations and Include removable drives I cannot disable the suspension. Though this really confuses me since Computer does refresh for new drives even though it should be suspending auto-refresh. :eh:


One new discovery - XY will resume browsing a portable device which can adversely affect the startup time. This should instead show a message similar to network locations or searches.
XYplorer was closed with this tab pointing to a portable device.

Click the icon to browse the device now:
