Windows: XnViewMP v1.8.0 crash (with crashdump)

[eremit]

Tested on:

Windows 10 x64 v1809 Build 17763.6293 (Hardware)
XnViewMP v1.8.0 x64 (Setup) [installed on OS; runs in sandbox → Sandboxie]
and
Windows 10 x64 v1809 Build 17763.6054 (virtualised 'guest')
XnViewMP v1.8.0 x64 (Setup) [installed & runs native on OS]

Description of steps to reproduce the path which lead to crash:

In Windows-Explorer
right-click a folder with plenty of pictures and videos (about 4800 files plus subdirs)
choose "Betrachten mit XnView MP" (Browse with XnViewMP)

Wait while thumbs are building up (reading database?).
→ Application crash (with crashdump)

The issue can be reproduced!

I had to go back to v1.7.2. on both machines.
XnViewMP v1.7.2. does not have this issue.

Kind regards

Do you have sent the dump with crash dialog?

Thanks for your reply.

Until now I didn't send any crashdump.
Currently I'm doing some further investigation. It seems that even 1.7.2 x64 crash when it has to generate the thumbs for the first time (fresh/empty database). I have to sort out if some (old) settings in xnview.ini are the source of this behavior. But I think that some strange (erroneous) media-files may be the source of the crash.
I will send crashdumps via email, because my Windows does not have internet access.

I duplicated one of the problematic folders (files as hardlinks) and will test with fresh XnViewMP instance on fresh (clean) Windows 10 v21H2 x64 Build 19044.4894 and maybe later Debian 12.7.
