XYplorer Beta Club

Hello,

this new version doesn't start here. It crashes instantly, even with a fresh INI file.

Works fine here.

WinXP Home edn SP2

No problem here -- also xphome sp2

I eat my words. Though it doesnt crash instantly like what peterbonge mentioned, but it does crash when trying to preview a image (not always though) or trying to switch from detailed to thumbs view (in a folder containing many types of files like .doc, .jpg, .ppt etc). Crashed 20 times so far in 30 minutes. could not even go back to previous version. had to restart my comp to get it started again. Something terribly wrong.

Uh oh! I just turned on the info panel and crashed trying to preview an image. I've yet to preview one successfully in this version. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try thumbnails :)
(I mustered up the courage to view thumbnails and had the same problem. Looks like if one is to use this version, they'd best not leave preview on!)

Yup, here too. When attempting to run XY, it immediately shows an error box showing a 'memory could not be read' error then never loads.

Hey, but this is part of the fun of beta-land, eh?

i came here to report this exact problem -- whenever i right or left click an image XY crashes... all the same info that zridling posted.

hit F12 to close the info panel, or make sure the preview tab isn't selected -- at least for me that "fixed" it. The problem seems to be with the image rendering.

So all hell broke lose.

Must be connected to my new drop from outlook function... too bad.

(It does not crash here, by the way, which makes debugging a bit difficult)

Crash for me also on Preview of a JPG.

Preview an HTML, PDF, TXT, GIF file - O.K.

Other tabs on the info panel are O.K. with JPG.

The images are NOT cached, that might be a clue since I know Donald caches his images.

Thanks, that points in the direction i hoped it would.

BTW, I cache my thumbnails -- that's independent of the preview panel (which never caches anything).

So I thought I'd see what luck I would have with this vers on my W2K:
Immediate Crash!
What I got was a msg box with the following text:
--------------------------
Program Error
XYplorer.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows
You need to restart the program
An error log is being created.
---------------------------
Hummm...seems that I had asked about this error log in another thread recently...and never was able to find it!


Well, at least I backed up my working vers before I installed this vers!

Update: It was this prior thread that was about same error msg box

Further update, but you probably have the pointer you need now.

XLS - O.K.

BMP - O.K.

PNG, JPE, JPEG - crash

What a way to start the day!!
