Gif crashes XnViewMP

Post by moh »

Image

This image crashes XnView MP both in browser (when i select it) and viewer mode.
What powers it holds to crash the program?

XnViewMP: Version 0.72 x64 (Dec 19 2014)
OS: Windows 7 x64

in 0.75 x32 (Jun 11 2015) the gif just hangs up program instead of crashing... nevertheless this is some kind of progress.

I'm also getting crashes when (re-)opening gifs. I searched and found this thread which is exactly what happens on my system.

I'm running XnViewMP 0.78 x64 on Win7 x64

Apologies for the late reply (I forgot to assign notifications!)

Well, it was happening on every .gif with more than one frame. Basically if it had animation it would crash XnViewMP.
It's stopped doing it now... and the only thing that's changed has been the installation of newer Nvidia drivers. My guess is that perhaps my old drivers were buggy/corrupted and causing the crash when fullscreening the gif.
Everything is now working correctly, so I'll keep an eye on it if the issue re-appears!

Thanks!

I downloaded the above animated GIF and tried with v0.84. This worked fine.

Note: I was embarrassed for a few moments after pressing Esc key because the image freezed and didn't close. Second Esc did close the image. :)

Could you please try and check, moh, and Denton?
