Hello, JaimeTC.

Hm, on Vista Home Premium, 32bit, Total Commander 7.50pb7 can display file tips like the following without any problems:

Total Commander v7.50 Public Beta 7:

Here are the additions in public beta 7 pre 1:
- Installer: Improved handling of multiple languages, included
a few translations of the installer, and a new language
(Romanian). I plan to include Russian too, but will have to wait
for the consent of the translator
- Stack trace on error: I found out that it started the trace at the
wrong location! It started at the nearest function with a try/except
block instead of the function with the crash! So if you sent me
a crash report, please try to get a new one with beta 7!
- New button bar hotkeys: Ctrl+Right/Left jumps to button after
next/previous separator, Alt+Enter opens button change dialog
- Thumbnails view: Support for Unicode text (with BOM)
- and of course again many bugfixes

Here are the additions in public beta 7 pre 2:
- Installer: Some small improvements suggested in the forums,
like using the display language instead of the control panel
language for the first installation
- Fixed a few memory leaks which I found in the new functions
- Not in history.txt: HTTP downloads now don't use any Delphi
strings at all, may have been the cause of crashes
- Lister started via /S=L switch: Pass parameters to Lister just
like to standalone lister.exe, plus a new one which allows to
choose the plugin used (e.g. for a button to view a file with a
specific plugin)
- and of course again many bugfixes

Here are the additions in public beta 7:
The program totalcmd.exe has not been changed this time,
because there were only minor problems. Just some installation
files were added/updated:
1. Russian is now included in the standard installation. I'm using
the newer translation by user "Flint", who is also a beta tester.
Many thanks to him!
2. Russian and Slovenian are now also working in the installer.
3. The help file was updated slighly too.

And it seems to have more than 8 lines.

Kind regards,
Karl

Hello ! Welcome aboard !

• That doesn't occurs in XP-Pro, I tested 9 lines (total 512 characters), no crash when the mouse hovers the file-name…
… the comment is displayed alright as expected.
- Please, could you give us an example ? TIA !

 Kind regards,

Again…

• TC 7.5 supports up to 4,095 characters in the <descript.ion> comments. Please, have a glance HERE
- AFAIK, there is no lines number limit, and like you can see above in the karlchen's message that doesn't matter…
- Did you get some stack trace when the crash occured ? If you could reproduce and get one, please show it here,
that would help the Author.

Does it still hang when you turn off the option "Comments from Explorer" via Configuration - Options - Display?

There may be an Explorer extension on your system which doesn't like such long comments.

[JaimeTC]

May be.
But I think that the trouble are related with the compressed files. With other files is OK
My solution was turn off the comments from Explorer (OLE2)
Thanks for your help

My solution was turn off the comments from Explorer (OLE2)

So do you get the hang in Explorer too?
