Unable to get 'ExtendedProperty' of undefined or null refrence when in thumbnail view

Closed this issue · 5 comments

For the longest time I've been getting this scripting error whenever I use thumbnails view in both my work and home computer.
It always happens in folders with images on them when I use one of the thumbnails view sizes. It seems harmless and if I click to continue no other issues seem to occur, it is just a small annoyance.

Can this be fixed?

This problem is probably in one (or more) of these add-ons:

  • preview
  • tooltippreview
  • pathcolumn
  • sizestatus
  • syncselect
  • flat

Please try to disable one (or more) add-on (especially preview and tooltippreview) and see, so that I can narrow down the problem area.

Besides,

  1. What do you mean by "thumbnail view"? Large icon view?
  2. How do you get the error? Just after TE start up? When you switch to "thumbnail view"? When you move to a particular folder? When you move to a particular file? Or what?
  3. Please give more details about how you get the error, e.g. steps and a full screen dump.

After some attempts, I have got the error by changing an option in Preview add-on.
Please overwrite script.js of Preview add-on with this.
Besides, please turn OFF "Extract" which seems to have a problem with media files.

  1. What do you mean by "thumbnail view"? Large icon view?

It seems to happen in whichever of the views that generates thumbnails of the image, rather than a filetype icon.
Extra Large icons, Large icons or Medium Icons, as far as I can tell

I couldn't pinpoint an exact situation, it happens "around" folders with images in them. Most of the time it happens when I navigate into a folder with images, but it also happens when I'm already seeing its content and change the view mode, refresh, or select/deselect some files.

For example right now I was testing, and it happened when I navigated away from a folder with images up to the parent folder.

I'm giving it a try as we speak. From my limited immediate testing I'm no longer see any error dialogs, but I'll give it a run through the whole day and see how it goes.

Thanks for the patch, so far it seems promising. I'll report back later with more thorough testing.

I have fixed it on preview add-on v1.48.
Please try to update it.

Regards,

It seems to be fixed so far, haven't encountered the error today yet.

Thanks @ccfs for investigating the fix, and @tablacus for the update
