In version 3 beta 1, I also experienced continuous crashes when selecting a root folder, e.g. C\root. Reverting to v2 restored functionality

madyhac commented 1 year ago

this is bec of the permision users is not avelable on this folder and to get it try to
1- right click 2- properties 3- security 4- edit 5- add 6- image 7- image

drewbitt commented 1 year ago

The crashes I experienced are not due to invalid permissions as the same folder works in v2 and crashes in v3.

knock2one commented 1 year ago

having the same issues as @drewbitt & @Bluscream

I'm having the same issue. v3 crashes where v2 works.

csabaiman commented 1 year ago

Same issue for me - V3 crashes regardless of which folder selection, V2 works.

Interestingly I can't seem to replicate this issue. Can I confirm the drive is formatted as NTFS and not FAT32/exFAT?

yes, ntfs, with windows drive compression enabled (in one case)

SwiftyPop commented 1 year ago

Any workaround for this? I have same issues too in fresh install of Windows 11

I've been meaning to say this but, I know what's the issue! To make CompactGUI v3 crash upon folder selection, you need to have a directory with "Compress contents to save disk space" applied or "Compress this drive to save space" enabled.

Hope this aids towards fixing the bug ! 🖤

It's a known issue. The newer compress methods and the old LZN1 NTFS compression don't tend to get along very well and it tends to end poorly. Disabling filesystem compression first is really the only solution.

Ah excellent, thank you for that! It didn't cross my mind that people could try to double-dip compression. I also missed @Bluscream 's reply above stating the same thing
