9.0b3 issue with thumbnail view

Post by *obmana »

Hi,

yesterday I had a folder in thumbnail view (w/o images or anything that would need thumbnail handler) and I noticed that cursor, that was located on "parent dir [..]" started to blink very fast, endlessly . I went folder back, then again in same folder, and issue was still there. I ignored it.

Today I was looking in some folders with jpg images, so I switched to thumbnail view. Trying to navigate folders, crashed TC. I restarted and tried again. Same happens.

So I thought to let you know.

What types of files are in these folders? You may have some shell extension for some file type that's causing TC to crash when TC tries to create a thumbnail for that file (tpye).

BTW: I can confirm the flickerig of the cursor in TC9 beta3 on a Win7 x64 with inverted cursor enabled. It's more visible in 64 bit TC, but also noticable in 32 bit TC. The flickering is always on the item where the focus/cursor is on while TC creates the thumbmails or re-reads the folder content.

Unfortunately I don't remember which folder was flickering, only that it didn't contained any filetype that would need thumbnail handler, IIRC.
As for the crash, files were JPEG and I don't have special handler for it - it has single handler provided by system - MS Photo Thumbnail Provider. And it happened just in that folder, in other pictures folders all was fine.

Besides MS providers, I have additionally these on my system:

Code: Select all

CBXShell Class (.cbr, .cbz, .epub)
SumatraPDF Preview (.pdf)
paint.net Shell Extension (.pdn)
Sample Thumbnail Provider (.svg)
In my case I don't use inverted cursor, but inverted selection option on x64 TC on Win10. And it was flickering constantly while problematic folder didn't had any subfolders nor many files, around 20-30.

I know I provide very little info, but thought to write because TC is in beta.
