4.0.0.9 Bug - "Scanning - press ESC to cancel".

[chrisjj]

Windows 7.

Drag folder to filelist frequently gives "Scanning - press ESC to cancel" indefinitely - and ESC has no effect.

I did not see this on previous BRU versions.

Workaround: Instead use "Jump to path..."

Thanks, how to recreate this issue? What frequency causes this issue?

Thanks, how to recreate this issue?

Just darg in a folder.

And hope you don't get:



which is frequent on this operation newly on 4.0.0.9.

What frequency causes this issue?

Approx. 50%.

Is it caused by a specific folder ?
Do you have custom column defined in BRU, a JavaScript setup, or extracting exif or file properties?

Drag folder to filelist frequently gives "Scanning - press ESC to cancel" indefinitely - and ESC has no effect.

I'm seeing that - in 4009, 4008, & 4007.
4006 works correctly.

Win7 x64, BRU x86.

Note that the file list window is "empty" - except for said message.
Statusbar correctly shows the number of items in said dragged directory.
The "urlbar" does correctly show the path of the said dragged directory.

The "items" are there in the file list window, yet you cannot see them.
You can F2 (rename) them, during which time they do appear, momentarily.




On my Win7, I have all "visual effects" (whatever MS calls that ... crap [can't think of name, ATM] disabled (so I basically look like XP [in case that matters]).



(I've not seen the actual crash that the OP is getting.
Though I've never dragged a directory like this before, either.)

No.

No.

Thanks for the confirmation and excellent detail.

I do love BRU, but I am quite disappointed by the number of bugs introduced by updates. I'd take fewer updates, but then I'd not get the needed bug fixes.

Thank you for the great details, we are fixing this asap. Sorry for this issue
It only happens for folders dragged into BRU not files.

Great! Thanks.

It only happens for folders dragged into BRU not files.

The "Stopped working" happens for files too.

1 On Windows 7 Launch BRU 4.0.0.9:



Note the engaged but empty Filters. I've seen this often before various crashes.

2 Drag in single EML file to the file list.

Result:

Workaround: Instead use "Jump to path..."

Quicker: in folder list, click a different folder, then click the original folder.
