When I want to select a .png image file (locally) the SmartFTP client just crashes without any warning. Re-start, re-boot or re-installation does not solve the problem.

Hello ..

Please install the latest version from:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

If it crashes again please submit the crash report to Microsoft when asked. In addition please send the mdmp file that is created during the crash to us. You can find the location of the minidump by inspecting the event that is generated in the event viewer.

Does it crash with every .png you select or just with one particular one?

Regards,
Mat

Hello ..

Event Viewer:
Start -> Control Panel -> Administration Tools -> Event View

Check if you find a crash report in the Application log.

Without a crash dump we cannot debug the problem.

Do you have any 3rd party software installed that may interfere with .png files in the shell?
Does the thumbnail view work in Windows Explorer where the .png files are located at?

What's the file version of gdiplus.dll in the C:\Windows\System32 folder? To get the file version right click on the file and select "Properties" from the context menu. Then go to the version dialog.

Thank you.

Sorry, there is NO crash dump in the event viewer.
There should be no other software interfering (everything worked well in the previous version of SmartFTP).

So, here is the content of .png:

Thank you.

Do you have a gdiplus.dll in the following folder:
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\

For example on my Windows XP installation the gdiplus.dll is located at:
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.Windows.GdiPlus_6595b64144ccf1df_1.0.2600.2180_x-ww_522f9f82

Please post the full name/path of the folder where the gdiplus.dll is.

Hello ..

Thank you. We cannot see any problems. You may want to disable the Preview pane which very likely causes the problem.
Menu: View->Panes->Preview

Thanks.

Can you email the minidump (a .dmp or .mdmp)? The location of the dump file should be found in the event description.

Thanks

Hello ..

Please go to the Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer. In the Application log you should find an event with a crash description. The path to the dmp file should be there as well.
Or you may want to search your harddisk for .dmp and .mdmp files.

Feel free to contact me on Live Messenger anytime

Is it recommended to uninstall the old version first , then install the new version clean? Will I lose ftp site settings if I do that?
Or can I just run the new over old w/o issues?

ps: maybe i missed it, but where do you find/see what version you're running (ie .48)

2007-10-23 21:04:24

Hello ..

You can just install the new version over the old one.

Version info can be found in the menu: Help->About
