BRU Crashes On Drag & Drop of File into BRU

Postby therube » Mon Apr 14, 2025 4:39 pm

BRU Crashes On Drag & Drop of File into BRU.

Win7 x64, Intel i7-3770-S, Intel HD 4000 Graphics, 8 GB RAM
BRU 4004 - 4005 - 4006, 4007, 32 or 64-bit (NoInstall)


(Open BRU*.zip, drag files into a directory & ...)
Open BRU
Drag a file (from Windows Explorer) into BRU


Result: crash (unhandled exception)


(BRU 4003 is OK, no crash.)

(I'll email .dmp & .rtp.)

Win7.
Any file. Any extension.
A single file, from anywhere suffices to cause the crash.
No settings set except what come out of the box (out of the zip).

I can check on other (Win7) systems, but that will have to wait... for a bit (taxes & whatnot).

4003 was fine, 4004 crashes.
So maybe that might help point out a change that might have caused the issue.

Anyhow, hold tight till I can get to other systems & check.
(As it is, I've not rebooted in 17 days, which is actually a rather short period of time for me, & I don't really want to restart, & I've not come across any issues with any other programs.)

Thanks! We think it might be related to drag and drop and having the Javascript condition in Filters (12) not empty....

That is incorrect.



I think you're on to something.


I didn't even realize that some of the settings were being set (in versions >4003) "automatically".

I was thinking (incorrectly) that I'll throw the sets of (BRU) files (from the .ZIP's) into a new directories & run BRU (in each, separately) & that would be a "clean" run. But it is not. 4004 & up do pull data (settings). And it happened that the last time I used BRU (I must have been messing with something that came up here in the forums), & in #12:, Condition was being set to, name == 'gsmart'.

And with that, yes, dragging a file into BRU crashes it.


With 4003, that opened "cleanly", did not automatically preset #12:, Condition, though if I do throw something in there, say, x = y, & then drag a file into BRU, it too then crashes.



(Oh, & the other Win7 systems I looked, either never had BRU on them, or if they did, #12: Condition was not being used, so I did not crash on those other systems.)


So what, 4004 & up is reading the Windows Registry & pulling /BRU.../Recent Entries/ID_1207/ & pre-filling that on startup, where 4003 did not?

Thanks, we will fix this issue in the new release 4.0.0.7
FYI There is a program preference to remember the last renaming criteria used when starting bru yes/no.
