How you created this cache files? Looks that they are not compatible with current version, so I think that you just renamed old cache files e.g. cache_duplicates_Blake3_60.bin to new name cache_duplicates_Blake3_70.bin.

This is why the numbering exists to prevent this type of error - if a cache is compatible with a new version, its version is not changed (e.g. 7.0 uses suffix 70 and 7.1 will also use the same).

the cache was self generated by the gui app. I have not touched it at all

I have the same issue, and it errors out with this message before crashing:

memory allocation of 8245933057892429617 bytes failed
zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped)  czkawka-gui

1. This is from an EMPTY new czkawka cache directory.
2. Then doing a single scan on a small folder.
3. Then trying to clear the cache from old entries.

To solve this I had to delete all the files in my cache folder. I think the bug has something to do with the blake3 hashing because that was th only setting I had changed prior to the crashing.

My previous comment shows this did not resolve the issue.

I started with an empty cache folder. If the folder is empty, and I click "remove outdated results", nothing happens. No crash.

If I run even a SINGLE scan on a folder, which generates hashes, and THEN I click "remove outdated entries", the program crashes.

So starting all over from a fresh cache doesn't solve this.

It doesn't matter if I start all over with Blake3 or XXH3 as the hash method.
