1.6.1 Batch convert dialog - Crash when shifting active tab

Post by Sprintdriver »

Observed on Windows 10. Same version installed on Fedora 39 (Flatpak), but not observed at Linux - but also a very different setup, so I cannot tell if OS version is important for this.

Problem with reproducing the crash:
May not happens first time. I did probably about 4 successfully convert operations at a small number of files each, before the crash occurred.
Also - in the Action tab, there is at least 4 actions added (only resize Enabled). I don't know if this is important.

Not tested:
This is something I know that remains to be tested from my side
  • Blank the setting ini file
  • If I remember correctly, the settings file located on a slow network drive. This has always worked for XnView MP and other programs as well (backup reasoning) so I cannot rule out the possibility that the connection to the ini file somehow get lost. However in this case, I'd expect Xnview MP to catch this particular problem properly (i.e. not hard crashing)
Automatic error reporting:
Between 2 - 4 hours ago before posting this. There was 2 such error rapports with a few minutes between.

Hi.

The following filters - after my recollection:
Resize ; Curves ; Automatic Levels ; Automatic contrast

but - NEW INFO
I renamed the xnview.ini to xnview.ini.old and also relocate all other (those listed under "other settings") folders to empty folders to be sure no old leftover settings from previous versions cause a mess.

However, even then (but took much longer time into the session) XnView MP 1.6.1 crashed hard (also this time I uploaded a crash dump, probably around 7-10 hours since now).

Then I tried to use version 1.6.2 (extract and overwrite from zip archive, xnview.ini not changed). After that, I spend some more time using XnView MP as before and so far haven't observed a crash. Hopefully it stays this way.
