Bulk Rename Utility crashing

That particular (EXIF) issue was asked here, viewtopic.php?p=11587#p11587.
So I guess we can say that part of the issue (the crash) still exists (with "invalid") EXIF dates.

Fixed in version 3.2

Hi had problems with earlier versions on windows 10 1903 latest service-packs and updates, fresh install and new install of bru 3.2.0.1 still issues.

Installs ok, and launches fine, as soon as i select a directory it freezes and hangs, regardless of the directory or folder.

What can I do to either help troublshoot or do it myself, tried installing and running as admin, no change. on X64 edition of W10 Pro.

[Admin]

Hi, can you retry a few times on the same folder please? thanks

[gbernasrd]

Thanks Admin, tried it 5 times in a row in the root drive of my data drive (no OS root drive)

in the bottom banner says Scanning D:\ ESC to cancel then the program quits

Same result.

[Admin]

Do you have "Subfolders" switched-on in filter (12) ?
What files are in the root? What folders? Does it freeze/crash also if you have "Folders" off in filter (12) ?

thanks

[gbernasrd]

no, defaults only, as i have not been able to run it, have now set folders on and then off and files on then off, and still the same result., installed it onto another laptop same issue windows 10 1903 64 pro again

[Admin]

We have Win 10 1903 and tested BRU on it again but can't recreate issue.... any particular info about drive d:\ ? formatted as NTFS? What files or folders in the root? Special characters? Language of the system is English or different? thanks!

[gbernasrd]

hi yes, NTFS format, nothing special in the root, as it is a non os partition on the internal pcie ssd.

no special characters, just single words, no spaces etc in folder names, language is UK english.

[Admin]

Hi, could you write to support, please? We would like you to download a special debug version which will log info that should help us debug this issue. thank you

[gbernasrd]

just did, thank you

[gbernasrd]

as per our email correspondence, BRU debug version still ended without logging anything

[Admin]

Yes, we are having trouble recreating this crash on our machines and the debug version we sent does not log info when crashing, unfortunately.

Just for fun I tried it on my D: drive, ticking the Files, Folders and Subfolders boxes on the Filter. Same version of Windows 10 Pro, 1903, and same BRU, 3.2.0.1.
It took several minutes to display the list of files as there were 208,000 of them, but it didn't crash.

I suggest you check the drive is not corrupt. In File Explorer: Click on drive, Properties/Tools/Check.
Also run CrystalDiskInfo to check the drive isn't dying - view the SMART data held in the drive. https://crystalmark.info/en/

thanks growltiger, CrystalInfo reports 100% Health GOOD, chkdsk found no errors.
