TC and Mediashow again :(

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

TC and Mediashow again :(

Post by *Postkutscher »

1. Start TC with empty ini.
2. Install Mediashow 0.95 wlx plugin (without using autoinstall, via TC`s GUI)
3. Open *.dpr or *.txt file with Lister
4. Make Windows Taskmanager the active window.
5. TC disappears silently

I would expect at least an error message here.

100% reproducible with TC 7.5 rc 1, 2 and with TC 7.04a under WinXP SP3

Yes, I understand that plugin is buggy, but it is so difficult to find... I suggest that TC tries to catch the error more persistent. :roll:
It has taken 3 days to me to understand why TC disappears after 1-2 min of using, to determine the condition and to find the buggy plugin between round 200 of installed. :(
I cannot understand, what of changes in my system has provocated this. The config of TC was constantly. I`v just installed some games on my PC :shock:

TC tries to catch all exceptions in plugins, but some are so bad that TC cannot do anything, e.g. when the plugin overwrites the stack...

This is a known MediaShow bug, so its better to not use that plugin for daily tasks... You can report the bug here but I'm not sure if the plugin still supported by author.

I see. Thank you.

The latest version 0.95 is from 2006. So... plugin is surely no longer supported. But thank you anyway.
