Title: Opening files sometimes makes CB to 'crash'/not work
Post by: Decrius on January 26, 2008, 04:10:21 pm

When CB is not opened or loaded in anyway, and I double-click a file associated with CB, it opens CB and shows the begin screen instead of the file I double clicked. Also the explorer window (where the file is located) is 'busy', as it shows white and no files. When I click the window away it gives me an windows error message of explorer and resets the explorer.

This happens on WinXP, latest nightly build.

To help finding a solution or pointing an eventual bug, you should give us the type of file you try to open, and if possible, post the file or a link to it in this forum to allow to reproduce.

With project files, but sometimes even normal files. Sometimes it 'crashes' sometimes not, for most kind of files.

The error is known, but cannot be reproduced on all systems.
Look (for example) here (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,7572.msg57253.html#msg57253).

Might be a DDE problem, but that's just a guess.

Yep, it seems to only be on windows, because on linux I don't have that kind of problem, It would be better to parse the arguments list on both platforms.
