Crash while searching for similar files...

Post by yaurthek »

Hello,

XnView (MP) sometimes crashes when I use the "search similar files" feature.
It runs fine most of the time, but crashes randomly on a specific folder.

Here is the error: http://pastebin.com/VGwxxSKh
And a screenshot: http://ompldr.org/vaGlrcg

I isolated a sample, by removing most of the files one by one, and retrying the search.
It seems the fewer images there are, the less XnView crashes, so I copy pasted a lot of times the same image...
The tool seems to run fine if the folder does not contain any duplicate.
There also are some video files, without which xnView does not crash.
The sample folder is 14Mo compressed as a zip, but expands to about 250Mo, because I replaced most of the big files content with zeros.

You can download it here:

If you do not experience a crash on the first search, maybe retry a few more times, the crash does not occur every time. :/

Let me know if you need more informations.

Thanks.
