Description

The app crashes when I use the List View layout on the latest preview version 3.1.4.0, but only if the window is maximized. My folder contains more than 1000 files.

Steps To Reproduce

1. open a folder with multiple files
2. change the layout to List
3. make sure app window is maximized

Requirements

when you maximize the window with list view on

Files Version

3.1.4.0

Log File

Thanks for the report, I've added this to the project board.

Does the layout change to list or does it crash right away?

[Mantej-Singh]

It does change to list view.
Once the list view is applied, it crashed after 2-3 seconds

Unfortunately the log file doesn't contain any info about the crash. Can you upload a screen recording?

[Mantej-Singh]

Yeah I figured, it was only 10kb.
Let me work on a screen recording

[Mantej-Singh]

Would you like a crash dump?
I found it on my C:\Users\Mark-VI\AppData\Local\CrashDumps folder

Interesting, does it also crash if you maximize the window before switching to List View?

[Mantej-Singh]

yes.

[Mantej-Singh]

It only happens to folders with a lot of files
Eg: In the above video, if i can go to my Music folder it will if crash.

[yaira2]

I can repro this as well

[Mantej-Singh]

I appreciate you working on this.
Did you figure out what the issue is?

[yaira2]

A big thank you to @marcelwgn for fixing this issue.

[Mantej-Singh]

Thanks @marcelwgn

@yaira2
When will the fix be available in the preview version?

[Josh65-2201]

It's in 3.1.6 right now

[Mantej-Singh]

thanks, updating it now.

[Mantej-Singh]

ahh guys, @yaira2 @Josh65-2201
It's crashing again. The whole app is freezing I am unable to access any file

App Version: 3.1.6.0
Windows version: 10.0.23619.1000

It is happening to me on 3.1.7.0 Windows 10.0.19045.3996, without changing windows size, I select list view. If folder has 95 items nothing happens. If it has 330 items it crashes when I change in to it. I was using stable version, missing a lot list view, I use it as default in all my file managers, change to thumbnails on images or videos only. I saw testing version had list view I installed it. And bang, crash.
Edit 2: It does not crash with less than 100 folders/files in open view, it always does with more.
System is a Ryzen 7 5800G NVME SSD, 32 GB RAM, dual monitor

I tested @hishitetsu patch and it is working fine.

[ElQuia345]

I tested @hishitetsu patch and it is working fine.

Is the patch downloadable and does it work on 3.1.7.0?

[Josh65-2201]

No, It's not available yet.

[ElQuia345]

No, It's not available yet.

OK, will wait... the list feature was one of the few things missing that stopped me from going default with Files..
BTW, it WOULD be nice if when in two pane mode, the divisor line between panes was more visible, thicker, aka some two pane file managers.... as it is it gets kind of confusing, not a problem, just hard on eyes
LOVE the work. Thanks

[yaira2]

Thanks for the feedback, this issue will be resolved in the next release.

[Mantej-Singh]

Crashing on 3.1.7.0.
Is the fix pushed to 3.1.7.0 build?

[hishitetsu]

No, you will have to wait until the next preview release (probably 3.1.8.0).

[Mantej-Singh]

Understandable, thanks.
