I'm back. I updated to 6.9 and it's crashing again. I went back to 6.7 and it seems to be working. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#12 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 13:46:59 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#12 FileSeek In the Advanced Settings, could you turn on "Logging: Disable Log Buffering" and then send me over a debug log? Here are the steps:

• On the FileSeek Settings > Troubleshooting tab, change the Logging drop-down to "L2: Log Detailed" and click Apply
• Try your search and let it crash
• Head to C:\Users\(YourUser)\AppData\Local\FileSeek, and send over the "FileSeek.log" file
• Disable debug logging after sending the log

That solved the crash problem.
App was crashing about every 5-10min.
Its been up at least 1 hour! NO PROBLEM!
I really like the app & am glad to not have to get rid of it.

Running: FileSeek 6.9 PRO
OS: Windows10 Pro, Version:22H2, Build:19045.3448

Thank You Owen

Update: I was wrong.
Still crashes.

Thanks for confirming, it's likely an issue in 6.8. Can you update and reproduce the issue, and then check your Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application, and see if there's anything listed for FileSeek, or a ".Net Heap Corruption"? ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#9 Fri, 21 Jul 2023 15:17:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#9 FileSeek Hi Owen. I apologize for the slow response due to work and vacation. That seems to be working! It shows at the top that it's version 6.7 but I also saw a prompt to get updated version 6.8.(?)...didn't note the last number. Should I update to 6.8? Thank you!!! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#8 Fri, 07 Jul 2023 14:44:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#8 FileSeek Does this version still crash for you? https://www.binaryfortress.com/Data/Download/?DownloadID=da1a14ca-7062-4a29-8884-08152cbdf6d2&Log=0 ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#7 Fri, 07 Jul 2023 02:18:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/fileseek-keeps-crashingclosing/?ID=3aa10acc-104e-418c-834a-0935c84dfd09#7 FileSeek I downloaded the ifilter and exectuted it.
