* in Find File dialog hangs TC

[silent]

If I search for file and set "Search in:" to *
then TC hangs with dialog:
External exception EEDFADE.
(on my system this occurs only if Find File dialog is launched from root directory of drive D: - in subfolders or on drive C: there is a dialog "Search path not found")

Of course I known that * is not allowed in "Search in:" field, but maybe it would be nice improvment? (searching all non-removable drives)

I can't reproduce that, I always get "Search path not found", no exception here. Can you reproduce the error on a TC restart?

Anyway, the error I have seen already in the past, I think it was some kind of faulty lister plugin or so...

Do you have any WDX string activated in search?

EEDFADE is an exception which occured outside TC and cannot be caught by it. As Icfu said, it usually is caused by a faulty plugin.

Confirmed. Start search in the root of a disk c: with "*" in a field "Search in" causes a external exception dialog.
Start in the other place does not cause a mistake.

I can't reproduce it either, sorry. No plugins should cause any harm here, they are only called when at least one file is found. So the problem must be somewhere else, something interfering with the file system like a virus scanner or so...

Confirmed, after many tries, but only when launched from root directory of C: , from this moment error occurs every time; on drive D: - "Search path not found"
There is something different when started in \\My Komputer - TC search 6-7 seconds and display "Search path not found" dialog.

[silent]

I have reconstruct all root structure (root files + empty root folders) on other disk, and there is "path not found" warning, so I think that special characters (what I earlier suspect of this error) doesn't matter. I haven't more ideas how to reproduce this, sorry.

icfu:
I don't known what is "WDX string", so probably I haven't this activated.

EDIT:
I have done one more test - because I have this exception on other partition too (E:\), so I move ALL files from this partition to other drive and try to Find Files. And then no exception occurs, so it seems that there is a some kind of interference with files system or files/folders names.
(unfortunately I can't restore back moved root structure, so I can't determine if moving all files back would generate exception again)

I don't known what is "WDX string", so probably I haven't this activated.

Aren't you using the newest TC? There is a tab "Plugins" in Search Dialog which is used to extract info from the new WDX (aka Content) Plugins. Anyway, according to ghisler this cannot ba the reason.

The reason is a faulty lister plugin here, I am pretty sure. I think while starting the search you had activated the lister with the faulty plugin and then just thought that the error was invoked by the search dialog.

If you post the list of your installed lister plugins maybe I will remember which plugin caused that error.

Completely different task but exactly same error:
i try to open file https://plugins.ghisler.com/img/tc651_netware.exe while downloading (FTP download from list).
In my configuration first packer plugin for EXE is Resource extractor, but this file is SFX-ZIP,
open internally by TC as a zip file.

[Gral]

I find it (i think)
It's Cryptonite Packer plugin, installed by this line:
EAF=95,C:\PROGRAMY\WINCMD\Cryptonite.wcx
Caused error in both cases, with search and with open partially downloaded file https://plugins.ghisler.com/img/tc651_netware.exe

[silent]

YES, after removing cryptonite plugin from config then exception gone.
icfu: of course you have right - it was bad plugin.

Thanks for finding out! Please try to contact the plugin author to get it fixed!
