YACReader Library crashes when using context menu

Hi,
Using windows 10, YACReader Library program
Everytime I try to use context menu (right mouse click) the program crashes.
eg I can click the icon on the bottom toolbar to download tags from comic vine with no problems but any right clicking causes the program to crash.

Where do you click exactly? Does it happen if you use the 9.0 release candidate? www.yacreader.com/forum/testers/1059-yac...r-9-0-0?limitstart=0

Hi,

I am using the 9.0 release candidate 64 bit version with Windows 10 version 1709 (OS Build 16299.192)
Also the library I am using was created with 9.0 release candidate on a different PC (not windows 10) and runs correctly there.

Left clicking selects the comic ok but when I right click on a comic cover in the right view pane, even if I do not do anything else the program just crashes. The context menu opens ok but again the program will crash if I click on any of the submenues. I tried running as administer but no difference (crashes).

Thanks for the help.

I suspect this could be a bug in the QML backend (that's what powers the library interface). Luis, we might need a build with Qt 5.9.4 to give this a test.

hmmm, ok...

will yacreader 9.0 see the light one of these days?

Yes. You just have to accept that all software has a certain amount of bugs. Perfect releases don't exist. Leave a few bugs for Yacreader 9.0.1+.

Luis, since you're probably pretty busy right now I will try if I can verify this bug on my Windows 10 VM. If Qt 5.9.4 solves the issue we can release a version with that for Windows 10 users. The rest gets the well-rested 5.9.1 build.

I have tested this both with an old beta and with the current 64bit version of RC1, no crashes.

Kw2p, before I try anything else, could you check the following things?

- Does this also happen with a fresh library that was created on Windows 10?
- Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed? If not, does it work after a driver update?

If the problem persists I will need more info on your graphics setup and the problematic library and the system it was created to narrow it down.

Hi,
I will check these things tomorrow (Mon) as I am not at home today and will post results.

Hi,
I created a fresh new library on a PC with Microsoft Windows Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.192) &
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Graphic card.
The same problem exists (crashes) using this clean library.

I then updated my own pc running NVIDIA GT 620 drivers to the latest version. Sorry, still program crashes.

I am able to use the libraries on other pcs running windows 10 or windows 7 - but jut not on my own windows 10 pc. Let me know if you want my graphics settings, etc.

Is your PC by chance running the 32bit version of Windows 10 or are you using the 32 bit build of YACReader?
