Title: Help - Qimage Hangs and has to be aborted Post by: MelW on April 24, 2010, 07:26:00 PM This is very wierd. I open Qimage. I go to a folder I have edited before. All of the images have .flt files. But the thumbs wont show up for some of the images - just the Q logo. And Qimage hangs - and wont do anything - I just have to abort it. The only thing unique about any of these images is that I used Qimage to make filtered copies which are in another folder - something I do all the time. In fact, other images in that folder that had the same thing done are showing up fine. This is pretty repeatable for these images. I even deleted the .flt files thinking maybe they had become corrupt somehow. Didn't matter. The JPG files are exactly as they were wehn downloaded - haven't been resaved since then. I am running Windows XP and am up to date on everything.

Fred Title: Re: Help - Qimage Hangs and has to be aborted Post by: MelW on April 24, 2010, 07:49:05 PM I tired that and it didn't work - but it did solve the problem. When I did that, Qimage hung (hourglass) and after about two minutes aborted itself with the "Qimage has encountered a problem and has to close . . . . " etc. Then when I restarted Qimage,and went back to that folder - viola -. This has happened now in three different folders over the past two weeks. Never had this before. Each time, I have solved the problem through some unnatural act. (so to speak) but always involving copying everything to a new folder and trying to rebuild the thumbs. Today even that didn't work (after a few tries) but then I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back, Qimage had aborted itself. ???? Anyway - thanks for the quick response Fred.

"You have a corrupted image or images....... and or a corrupted folder........" whoooooo!!! Fred :D Title: Re: Help - Qimage Hangs and has to be aborted Post by: MelW on April 24, 2010, 08:44:48 PM Don't think so - else it would still be corrupt - but it hasn't changed at all, only now Qimage behaves normally (after crashing on its own). Anyway, Qimage used to warn me if I had a bad Jpeg or corrupt file. Anyway, I don't really care - I can almost always work around the one or two little idiosyncrasies that I occasionally find either in Qimage or myself.
