Error 13 Type mismatch error on cursor over .jpeg file

While moving the cursor over some .jpeg files, one of them gave the error:
Code: Select all
Error: 13 (0x0000000D)
Desc: Type mismatch
Dll: 0
Proc: tmrDelay_Timer: 10>0
Source:

This was a few versions old, so I updated XYplorer to the latest, but still got the same error.
This is only a minor inconvenience.
If the bug report helps fix the problem, great. If not, maybe the next submitter will do a better job of explaining it.

Does it always happen with the same files? If yes, can you send one of them to support?

Yes, always the same files. It is only a recent development. Here is one.

No problem here. Do you also get the error with a fresh instance?

Yes, every day so far recently with the computer turned off every night.
That one sample folder has these five (5) files:
Code: Select all
Sat 02-01-20 1,135,777 Art (photographic) Colorful Sand 19109_en_1.jpg
Sat 02-01-20 906,106 Art (photographic) Falling Ice Cubes 19228_en_1.jpg
Sun 02-02-20 1,958,526 Earth-Aurora Borealis_cropped-1920-1080-598518.jpg
Sun 02-02-20 241,399 horsehead_nebula_radiance_4k-1920x1080.jpg
Sat 02-01-20 147,832 Jupiter and the Galilean Moons (Microsoft).jpg
Only the two "Art (photographic)" files get the error.
It is hit or miss across any other folder.
The only reason this is a problem is that the error comes in a modal dialog box, that I have to dismiss before I can see the next file.

To open a fresh instance (= factory settings), paste fresh; into the address bar and press ENTER. Then see if you get the error also there.

I changed that in v28.30.1307. Now, only a short message appears in the status bar. To see the full error message, you can use this script:
error -1;

There are no errors in that directory with this "fresh" instance, but there are no image previews, either.

Check Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box
Then hover the mouse over the JPEG icon.

Yes, checking "Show Hover Box" then gets the error dbox on the same two offending files.

Try the latest beta and show the error message. It will be a different one that might give me a clue.
Note that your error will probably not show a msgbox anymore but just a note in the status bar. To show the message use this script: error -1;

I still get the error message, and it is still modal:
Code: Select all
Error: 13 (0x0000000D)
Desc: Type mismatch

Thanks!
In the next version it won't be modal anymore. Can't fix the error though; I don't see it here.
