No "before load" message before the crash?? :?
Just a crash. Windows starts asking me to send MS a bug report (grrr).

This has done this to me from .0003 when I try enabling thumbnail view.

Did you really type the messages by hand?? (I know you are sorry :wink: ) I really only need the last before the crash.
I'm the Copy&Paste master ;) It's all that renaming I did before I searched for apps that did it for me :lol:

You should have seen the collection of screenshots I had originally :D I'll just give you the last one next time ;)

0015

With MDBU in the jpg thumbnails it gives just two messages, before load and after load and then crashes.

And with info panel view of jpg it gives same messages as lukescammell. and crashes after "after load".

OK, back again after some meditation.

Enough of those message boxes! This was a dead end street...

Now I did something very radical. IF it works then everything will be better than it ever was!! IF... :mrgreen:

WOWEEEEEEE!!!

Here's what I did: I removed reference to GDI+!!!!!
Means:
- XYplorer now runs on systems with no GDIplus installed.
- XYplorer now runs on Win95!* (sic)


This is incredible! I always hated the GDIplus dependence since I added it (v3.30.0001 - 29.09.03 10:21) -- three years of shame and suffering have ended! Now XYplorer is fully stand-alone again!

A BIG THANKS to lukescammell and his BIG bug following his BIG (fulfilled!) wish!

And thanks to you all for sharing this horrible morning (or whatever your timezone said it was).

* I tried it and it doees not really work well and I will not officially claim Win95-compatibility -- but at least it starts. First time since > 3 years!

Morning it was, afternoon now -- and it's great to see xy shining again! First time I've seen the file size go -down- with an update in a while, yay for no more gdi+ :D
