A few days ago I encountered a strange bug
Whenever my program (under debugging) tries to open a savedialog Delphi 2007 IDE crashes with an external exception. I narrowed it down to any folder containing an exe compressed by upx located.
I.e. if all exe's in a folder are normal/uncompressed then all is good. But if one of exe files has been compressed with upx then IDE crashes when opendialog tries to open that folder.
I suspect that Windows shell loads the exe module (e.g. to display its icon) and IDE notices that and tries to load debugging info for that exe and crashed at that point.
Any idea on how to resolve this? My test program attached
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
SaveDialog1: TSaveDialog;
procedure FormClick(Sender: TObject);
private
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm1.FormClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
SaveDialog1.Execute()
end;
end.
