[BUG] Everything stops responding when scrolling file types in advanced search

Post by vertigo »

Three times in a row so far, when I've gone into Advanced Search, opened the drop-down for file type, and dragged the box in the scrollbar to scroll through the list, Everything has become unresponsive. When in this state, the drop-down remains visible over the top of all other programs. This is with 1.5.0.1376a on Win10.

No clue, but my thought would be "icon".
Maybe if you set [Everything] icon_shell_extensions= to 0 & restart Everything & test?

Or maybe viewtopic.php?p=67638#p67638 ?

I emailed a crash dump, hopefully it helps to determine the cause. And changing that setting didn't help.

Thank you for the mini crash dump.

The system is crashing when rendering the icon for the NRW file type.
Do you work with NRW files?

In the Registry Editor, what is shown under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.nrw

I don't use them.

(Default) > ImageGlass.AssocFile.NRW
Content Type > image/NRW
PerceivedType > image
and a handful of subkeys

The real question is, is this an Everything issue or a Windows issue. Because this past week Windows has been having all sorts of problems, probably from an update, or just because it's a POS. But I've been having tons of issues with File Explorer and with various programs freezing.

Thank you for the registry information.



In the Registry Editor, what is shown under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ImageGlass.AssocFile.NRW

What is shown under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ImageGlass.AssocFile.NRW\DefaultIcon



The crash is outside of Everything.

Please try clearing your icon cache:
  • From the Start menu, type in the following search and press enter:
    cmd
  • In the command prompt, navigate to local app data folder by typing in the following and pressing enter:
    cd %localappdata%
  • Remove the hidden attribute from the icon cache database by typing the following and pressing enter:
    attrib iconcache.db -h
  • Delete the icon cache database by typing the following and pressing enter:
    del iconcache.db
  • Terminate Windows Explorer by typing the following and pressing enter:
    taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
  • Restart Windows Explorer by typing the following and pressing enter:
    explorer
Does the issue persist?
