Opus Crash while using "Tagging for Windows"

Opus Crash
Error OXCOOOOOOS in Thread ox6238 at OXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I want to apply a tag system to my files. I need something more than the basic tagging functionality native to Opus.

I am currently evaluating "Tagging for Windows".

In Opus preferences I set "Treat all folders as real"

Crash occured when I tried to create a new tag for a file.

Thoughts?

Additionally, does Opus recommend a tagging software tha fully integrates with Opus and Dropbox?

When does it crash? When you do something inside the third-party tagger?

When I click "New Tag"

The screenshot shows it frozen after I click "New Tag"

I wan attempting to create a new tag for a file, verses using a previously created tag.

It looks like the crash is coming from the third-party tool and should be reported to them.

The fact that an Opus dialog shows would be because it's running inside our process.

We think we have a workaround for this problem.

The crash is caused by Tagging for Windows creating dialogs with null dialog-procs.

I may be wrong but, as far as I'm aware, doing that isn't useful or allowed according to the API docs. I'm surprised the OS doesn't fail the creation request, but apparently it is at least tolerated by the OS, whether or not it's actually allowed.

Maybe there's a valid reason for their code doing this, or maybe it's unintentional but hasn't been noticed, as it doesn't usually crash. I can't say.

We've added a check for this and it seems to fix the crashes, at least.

Hi Leo - WOW - thank you for all the follow-up.

I will contact Tagging for Windows and see if I can get them to communicate with you.

Meanwhile thank you for the workaround fix.

When is the next update due?

Thanks again - Byron

The new beta update is already out.
