Crash Using Backslash to Search

Post by CarlosGil »

Hi.

Using 1.5.0.1375a

If I paste or type in the search box an absolute path Everything crashes.

A path like C:\Users\Public or C:\Windows crashes.
A relative path like Users\Public doesn't crash.
And if the backslashes are escaped or at the end it seems OK, so C:\\Windows\ works.

Not confirmed here
There must be more than this simple conditions.

Nor here.


Does 1376 do the same?
x86 or x64?

Maybe post Help | Troubleshooting?

Is C: your only volume?
As in, if you have an E:, or even a USB flash drive, does that volume also crash when using a fullpath?

1376a fixed a crash when searching for folders in really deep folder.
I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with 1376a.



Everything has different optimized path search methods:

C:\Users\Public = root-exact-compare: C: and subpath-exact-compare: Users and subpath-startwith public. (builds parent folder list)
C:\Users\Public\ = lookup parent C:\Users\Public and search with pointer to parent folder. (no parent folder list)
Users\Public = subpath endwith Users and subpath startwith public.



Sounds like Everything is crashing when building the parent folder list.
Could you please send a mini crash dump to confirm.



Please try rebuilding your indexes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.
Does the issue persist?

Hi.

It works great on 1378!

In any case, I sent to the support email the minidump, using 1375 still.
Also included an .ini with the configuration, as others could not reproduce the issue.

The crash happenned on all drives, but it did seem worst on "C:\", the system drive, which is an SSD.
By worst I mean that other drives only seem to crash with inexisting paths, or when I used backspace to delete a character from the search of an absolute path that worked OK.

Seems fixed now, thanks!!!
