Intermittent crash on app mode change (Win11)

Post by *strin »

Hello

An old, long-time TC user here who never had cause to register until now.
I noticed my TC x64 11.56 will sometimes crash when I toggle the default app mode between Dark and Light in Settings > Personalization > Colors.
The same happened on Windows 10 Pro which I ran previously.

Sometimes the exception is seemingly unhandled and the TC instance simply vanishes.
More often, an exception pop-up is triggered:

Duplicate name: A component named 'DLG2FILEACTIONMIN' already exists.
Duplicate name: A component named 'DLG2FILEACTIONMIN' already exists.
Windows 11 Professional 10.0 ...
Stack trace (x64):4EB4AD


Has anyone but me experienced this?

I haven't tried setting up brand new settings yet, but I intend to try it soon and see if anything changes. 8)

Never experienced this.
We are not so S.M.A.R.T. as we imagine...

I started over with a brand new, fresh wincmd.ini and enabled this in Configuration: Color > Dark Mode > Only when enabled for Windows 10 apps
That was the only setting I changed.

Next, I proceeded to open a random (non-image or video) file using the Internal viewer.
I minimized the internal viewer (Lister) and toggled "Choose your default app mode" between Dark and Light. Sooner or later it will trigger a Total Commander 11.56 crash on my machine

It would be interesting to hear if anyone else can reproduce it!

Confirmed for 64-bit TC. 32-bit TC works fine.
Note that it concerns default app mode (via custom settings), not the Windows mode.
If Liter is minimized but TC is not, you may have to switch between dark and light multiple times.
If Lister and TC are both minimized, it seems to happen at first try.

Thanks, I can reproduce that when Lister is minimized. Lister shows a progress dialog and immediately hides it, which (according to the comment in the source) is done to refresh the Lister title bar and menu bar to switch between dark and light mode. This isn't working when minimized, so I will just skip it when Lister is minimized.
