I'm a registered user. I tried to open a folder on my external local hard drive containing cca 200.000 photos (together 25 GB of data) but the system wouldn't respond and it opened a dialox with this error, where it says I should report to the author. Here I am

I will now restart the system and try again.
I have opened that folder numerous times before.
BR, Simon
