Weird error: view/edit with .gif file

[DYN_DaTa]

That problem happened when i was trying to view, and later, edit a .gif file from a friend's server (through server window). That's the messages from Status Window:


When using "View" file (CTRL + V):

An internal error has occurred.
Access violation at address 77F5178D in module 'ntdll.dll'. Write of address 70A800B6
An internal error has occurred.
Access violation at address 77F5178D in module 'ntdll.dll'. Write of address 70A73692


When using "Edit" file (CTRL + E):

An internal error has occurred.
Error reading Editor.HideSelection: Win32 Error. Code: 1400.
Invalid window handle


But, that's the funny part... if i download THIS file to my computer and try again to view (and later edit) this file again through server window, the file is viewed/edited into my default pictures program without error messages. My conclusion is that this problem only happens when this specific file isn't transferred to my computer.


That's the content of my errorlog file:

My O.S is Windows XP + SP1

That's really strange. Edit & View are identical for local & remote. When it's a remote file the file is downloaded and viewed/edited.

Make sure you don't have shift depressed when Viewing/Editing as this forces it to load into the internal editor.

Based on your errors it seems like it tried to open the file in the internal editor, if does this for the ftp, it should of did this for the local view as well.

I tested with my setup and I was unable to reproduce any problems. Perhaps a special debug version would give us some ideas of where things go wrong.

Auch... i can reproduce the problem. Let's get a file from a pub, for example ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Press/Screen_Shots/VSampler/VSampler-Screenshot.jpg

That's the 4 combinations:


#1) Edit: (with file only on remote server)

TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (161,58,92,190,7,106).
RETR VSampler-Screenshot.jpg
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
226 Transfer complete.
Transferred: VSampler-Screenshot.jpg 133.238 bytes in 5,26 (24,75 KBps)

#2) View: (with file only on remote server)

PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (161,58,92,190,7,112).
RETR VSampler-Screenshot.jpg
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
226 Transfer complete.

#3) View: (without problems - file on local & remote server)


#4) Edit: (file on local & remote server)

TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (161,58,92,190,7,137).
RETR VSampler-Screenshot.jpg

By the way, combination #4 is new for me... in my first post it worked perfect ... .

[DYN_DaTa]

Problem solved. Thanks bigstar

[MidKnight]

well looks like you got it fixed, dont know what the problem was?, but i use view and/or edit everyday and i've never had this problem myself

[bigstar]

He was using windows file associations, I suggested for him to try adding the file associations into FlashFXP. Thus bypassing windows file assocations and relying on FlashFXP file associations.

I'm not entirely sure why it worked. but i'm glad it did.

[MidKnight]

mmm ok, well i've never used it that way anyway, i also tell flash to use my prefered app for a perticular extension
