There should be a FileZilla crash dump in the %LOCALAPPDSTA%/CrashDumps directory, please attach it to this ticket.

Hi, I can't cause they are all bigger than 1 MB. Can I send them via email?

You're using a faulty third-party shell extension. Please remove MysticThumbs64.dll

Hi... would you like to have the FileZilla crash dump as well? If so, please give me an email where I can send it.
Or was that comment not meant for me?

Yeah, was meant for the FileZilla team to cross communicate. Send me the crash dump anyhow so I can see if there's anything obvious. Please use the contact page at mysticcoder.net to create a ticket. Be sure to attach the dump file. Thanks

The internet is still juvenile unfortunately and I don't want to reveal email addresses here for spam protection. Can you share via dropbox or similar?
comment:10 by , 8 years ago
contact me via the website so we can create a private thread anyhow. we'll sort it out there.

mysticcoder: Due to its size I deleted the dump after processing.
Please have a look at https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41889&p=150094#p150094 at a different issue with your shell extension.
Basically, I think you need to split your extension into two parts: The actual shell extension and a service that generates the icons, with the two communicating via a dead simple IPC mechanism. That way nothing fancy is going on inside the shell extension that can interfere with other programs.

Wouldn't an IPC be something fancy in itself?
In any case, thanks for the stack trace and comments. It's to do with generating HTML thumbs most likely by the look of it. Uses a IE window to render which requires some message pumping filth. May be time to revoke that support.

Not really, IPC is commonly used by shell extensions. Moving the actual work into a daemon also keeps the size and memory consumption of the shell extension low, which is very useful if it is loaded in hundreds of running processes. The main challenge if using a daemon is in isolating users and permission, in your case lest user A create icons for files only accessible by user B.
comment:14 by , 8 years ago
The dll is shared in any case. memory is constant surely. the DLL IS the daemon. Isn't that the point of DLL's? IPC a message to some other task to process and return a result, what's the difference? May as well stay in the dll. The problem with this case is that rendering HTML thumbs uses "way out there" techniques that obviously can cause issues when running synchronously in some tasks. I may have to consider removing small icon support for html and any other format that has compound complexity.
