(False Positiv) Calling cm_UnloadPlugins while using QuickView seems to kill TC ...

[funkymonk]

... if called in the TC command line while quick view is currently used with a lister plugin. TC simply terminates without any error message.

(At least on several of my machines with TC 10.52x32.)

Well, does your Quick View use a Lister plugin? It's up to the user to make sure no plugin is (actively) used anywhere in TC before calling the cm_UnloadPlugins command.

This problem did NOT occur with the lister plug-in "TCIrfanView" version 1.8.2 from 24.4.2023 in TC 10.52 x64 and x86 and
Windows 11 Pro (x64) Version 22H2 (OS build Build 22621.1635 - 25.4.2023).

1) Was it a specific lister plugin?
2) Did you use 'Ctrl+Q: Quick View Panel' or 'F3: Show File Contents'?
3) What was the sequence of steps?
4) Was a Report.wer file created in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\...?
5) Which version of Windows are you using?

For my tests there where no problems or crashes using cm_UnloadPlugins.
Tested with following Lister plugins:
IrfanView
EMLView
Slister
Ulister

Sorry for the false alarm!
I have tracked down the problem to a totally different reason:

I use autorun.wdx 2.2.10 beta for launching a periodic thread via "RunThread".
As long as this thread is running, cm_UnloadPlugins causes TC to terminate as described above.
(Quick solution: Use "Pragma AutorunBlockUnload" in the autorun configuration to prevent unloading the plugin. I will post this problem to the autorun forum thread later.)

Sorry again for the confusion.
