1.9.2: Crash when deleting an image with the comparator

Post by orlando »

XnView: MP 1.9.2 - 64 bit
OS: Windows - 64bit

(translated with an automatic translator, original French below)

In the XnView MP comparator, when I delete an image, the program crashes.
Effect: Program crashes
I'm comparing the same "image", but at different sizes, for example one 1000 x 1000 file and the other 3000 x 3000.

To reproduce:
1. In the explorer, select two files
2. Tools > Compare
3. View in tabs, with automatic scale adjustment, thumbnails on the right
4. Zoom in to see details, click on tabs to compare
5. Click on the Delete button (red cross) in the comparator toolbar
6. "Do you want to delete the file?" > Yes
7. XnView crash reporter: An unexpected error has occured during software execution...
8. The file is in the recycle bin

Actual behaviour (bug): XnView crashes :bug:
Expected behaviour: No crash. Maybe back in the XnView MP explorer? I don't know.

I'm on Windows 11, and this also happened when I was on Windows 10.
This crash happens every time I delete an image in the comparator.
I've been seeing it for several versions, I think since scaling was added to the comparator (I wasn't using the comparator before).

French:
Dans le comparateur de XnView MP, lorsque je supprime une image, le programme plante.
Effect: Program crashes
Je compare la même « image », mais à des tailles différentes, par exemple un fichier de 1000 x 1000 et l'autre de 3000 x 3000.

To reproduce:
1. Dans l'explorateur, sélectionner deux fichiers
2. Outils > Comparer
3. Vue dans des onglets, avec ajustement auto de l'échelle, vignettes à droite
4. Zoomer pour voir les détails, cliquer sur les onglets pour comparer
5. Cliquer sur le bouton Supprimer (croix rouge) dans la barre d'outils du comparateur
6. « Voulez-vous supprimer le fichier ? » > Oui
7. XnView crash reporter: An unexpected error has occured during software execution...
8. Le fichier se trouve bien dans la corbeille

Actual behaviour (bug): XnView crashes :bug:
Expected behaviour: Pas de crash. Peut-être retour dans l'explorateur de XnView MP ? je ne sais pas.

Je suis sur Windows 11, et ça arrivait aussi quand j'étais sur Windows 10.
Ce crash arrive à chaque fois que je supprime une image dans le comparateur.
Je le vois depuis plusieurs versions, je crois depuis que la mise à l'échelle a été ajoutée dans le comparateur (je n'utilisais pas le comparateur avant).

I tried version 1.9.3. and it works now. When I deleted an image from the comparison view, I didn't get a crash for the first time.
The comparison view closes on its own at that point.
So that's great. Thank you very much!
