Semi-regular crash

[richiek]

Running v1243, I've found that leaving the application open for a while that I come back to it and it's disappeared. The Windows Event Viewer app shows this:

Faulting application name: Everything64.exe, version: 1.5.0.1243, time stamp: 0x6050a78d
Faulting module name: Everything64.exe, version: 1.5.0.1243, time stamp: 0x6050a78d
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x0000000000056736
Faulting process id: 0x1332c
Faulting application start time: 0x01d71c45b55b0989
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe
Report Id: 8da11ddd-5300-4b7e-b3ea-9b6ed5d7a68a

Faulting package-relative application ID:

What would be the best way to diagnose this crash?

Many thanks,
Richard.

Thank you for the crash report Richard,

I come back to it and it's disappeared

The stack is corrupted, which will make this tricky to debug..

If you ever see a crash dialog, could you please:

• Keep the crash window open.
• Please send a mini crash dump

It might be stack corruption from a shell extension.

Please try disabling shell extensions in Everything and see if the issue persist:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /icon_shell_extensions=0
  where 1 is enabled (default) and 0 is disabled.
• If successful, you should see icon_shell_extensions=0 in the status bar for a few seconds.
• Type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /restart
• Does the issue persist?

What is shown in Tools -> Debug -> Statistics? -Just so I have an idea of your setup.

I had another crash since that last report and I've not ever seen a crash dialog, but if I do I'll certainly report the minidump.
I've also turned off shell extensions and started it up again - we'll see if that resolves the issue.

I am content indexing quite a few things so I wonder if that might be part of the issue. If it crashes again I'll turn shell extensions back on and switch content indexing off.

Thanks for the information Richard,

What does your Content option page look like Under Tools -> Options -> Content?

[richiek]

In abstract terms:
Include only folders: **\<dir1>;**\<dir2>;**\<dir3>;**\<dir4>;**\<dir5>;**\<dir6>;**\<dir7>;**\<dir8>
Exclude folders: **\<dir9>
Include only files: *.fea;*.feb;*.fec;*.fed;*.hlsl;*.h;*.hh;*.hpp;*.c;*.cc;*.cpp;*.cs;*.py;*.txt;*.inl;*.tem;*.vcxproj;*.csproj
Exclude files:
Maximum size: 10MB

Is there any way to force the crash dialog?

Enabling crash dumps for Everything may (unlikely if you are not seeing a crash dialog) generate a crash dump for you:

Please see Crash Dump Help for more information.

Please try the To manually enable mini crash dumps for Everything on Windows 7 or later instructions.
For Everything 1.5 you will need to replace Everything.exe with Everything64.exe

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wer/collecting-user-mode-dumps

Thanks for the content information.

Please try adding your text/plain file types to Everything's text/plain list to avoid using iFilters.

Thank you for the mini crash dumps Richard,

The crash dump shows Everything crashing when trying to access a file that was excluded after it was renamed in the index.

Please try the latest Everything 1.5 Alpha.

Version 1.5.0.1248 fixes a crash when a renamed file would be excluded.

Please let me know if the crash persists.

[richiek]

WONDERFUL! I'll give that a try now.

[richiek]

Since updating I haven't yet experienced this random crash, so I'm guessing they were all to do with this renamed file issue you've fixed!

Thanks again,
Richard.
