Title: Persistent error message and unresponsive interface Post by: jaon on August 20, 2025, 04:00:21 PM Hi folks
QIU is running very erratic today for me. I have added a screenshot of the error message. Udated to latest version. No change. Eorror message appears after every application restart. Thumbs keep trying to reload even though they were just built/rebuilt on last attempted restart. Also seeing another error "Cannot waitr for an externally created thread. I added Qimage.exe to antivirus exclusion list, ran disk checks (all good), checked for HDD space (all good). The image files are loading from a dropbox synced folder that resides on a dedicated storage disk (been using this for years without issues but thought I would mention it). I'm on a Windows 11 PC with a reasonably high spec workstation. Strangely when I clear obove error it start rebuilding thumbs again. (Only 6 images in folder I am accessing, all TIFF files). Any ideas? Regards John Title: Re: Persistent error message and unresponsive interface Post by: admin on August 20, 2025, 04:52:55 PM I don't really have much to go on with that one. That information dialog is telling you it never got past the "4-exist" stage and the only thing happening between stage 4 and stage 5 is initialization of some variables. If it fails there, the only thing I can think of is bad RAM or antivirus. The other (actual) error message is more important: the one that says "Cannot wait for an externally created thread". Can you get a screen snap of that one, particularly if it mentions an error address?
One thing you can try is starting Qimage with the Shift key held so it resets all settings: if a corrupted setting is involved, that would clear it. Might also be worth a try to reboot the PC and see if that solves it if you haven't already; you mention application restart but not a full PC restart. Regards, Mike |
