Windows Vista SP2 - Random Crashes - How to activate debug

Post by BloodySword »

Hello,

I'm new here and I get random crashes after I configured XnView MP to store all files in the program folder (portable version).
How can I activate debug logging or something, to help you out?

You have crash when browsing files? Or in view mode/Fullscreen?

I notices that the crashes occur when xnview tries to open random files with (for xnview) unknown content. Means I had a .7z archive with highly compressed .xcf files. I renamed the file to blah_7z, but xnview crashed anyway. I also deactivated to list any archives, only images and text files and folders are listed. But xnview keeps crashing in this directory. :(

If you have files which crash XnViewMP please send me them...

Err, how should I send you 80 MiB? ^^
I can try if it occurs with very small 7z archives.
I would rather offer you any debuglog instead of such big files.

1. The upload takes long because I don't geht full DSL 16000 in germany, I can only upload with 90KiB/s and it takes a bit too long.
2. It are personal pictures in xcf, compressed with 7zip that I don't want to share. It would'nt make sence If I encrypt it.

So I'll try it ith a dummy 7z archive. ... Done.
http://www.filedropper.com/cities

This file consists of tabulator seperated lists with all german cities (even austria, switzerland, luxembourg).
It makes xnview crash only if it is in a directory with only a few files and a directory with even few files.
In a directory with lots of directories it did not crash. Very strange.

Don'T know what it tires to du, the crash is very shortly after opening the directory, but the file was the last one.
A debuglog would give much more information about what's happening.

Sorry, I have overseen this.
It works much better with the actual version.
But I had one crash while a file was created slowly (jpeg render) and the directory was open via XnViewMP.
When it does occur more often, I will send you a PN.
