'Read Ahead One Image' Crash

Here is the problem:

While using the Mousewheel to scroll to the Prev/Next image in Fullscreen OR View mode, the program crashes. Scrolling fast causes it to crash easily, but scrolling slow can still cause a crash.

Here is what I tested:

Under "Options\View\Keyboard/Mouse", the choice "Mousewheel" is set to "Previous/Next File". Under "Options\View\File List", the option "Read Ahead One Image" is checked. If I uncheck "Read Ahead One Image", scrolling to the Previous/Next image with the Mousewheel does NOT cause a crashl.

Perhaps the program is trying to "scroll" to the next image before it finishes reading ahead one image?

Excellent program!

These sort of problems are well known; disabling this option is actually one of the first recommendations to diagnose problems. You can try 1.90 beta to see if it acts better for you. (It does for me.)

That is good to know. I could never actually recreate a crash because of this option (only slowdowns).
