QFileDialog segmentation fault in debug

[Tmalfrere]

Hi,

I get a segmentation fault every time upon using QFileDialog. It only happens in debug, not in release. When I call QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() or QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory() it crashes before returning from that call.

I made a small sample project:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QFileDialog>
#include <QDebug>

class QFileDialogTester : public QWidget
{
public:
    void openFile()
    {
        QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,
                                                        "Open Document",
                                                        QDir::currentPath(),
                                                        "All files (*.*) ;; Document files (*.doc *.rtf);; PNG file (*.png)");
        if( !filename.isNull() )
        {
            qDebug() << "selected file path : " << filename.toUtf8();
        }
    }
};


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QFileDialogTester test;
    test.openFile();

    return app.exec();
}

This is the error I get:

This is the application output:

I use QtCreator 4.4.1 with Qt 5.9.3 on Windows10

Can somebody help me please?

[mranger90]

Have you tried it with the:

QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog

flage ? I know that I get a boatload of diagnostic messages if I use the native dialog on Windows.

@Tmalfrere
Apart from trying @mranger90's suggestion, if that is not acceptable to you (or doesn't work), you might instead try one of the non-static functions instead of the two static ones you mention? You would have more control over the presentation if necessary, e.g. your problem seems to be connected to an icon (though I suspect it's for all the icons the dialog is trying to show against each file; you could also try passing NULL instead of this for the parent in case it's the parentage that is causing Window grief...).

[Tmalfrere]

@mranger90
I tried with or without that flag. It keeps segfaulting.

[Tmalfrere]

@JonB
I tried with the non-static version also. Also no improvement... Setting NULL as the parent did not solve it either.

[Tmalfrere]

Hi,
I think I found a solution.
the ovrlaymn.cpp reference in the logging got me thinking about someone who uninstalled dropbox and it got fixed.

I uninstalled 3 applications that use icon overlays in windows explorer:

• Synology Drive
• Helix Plugin for Windows Explorer (P4EXP)
• Resilio Sync

Now I can run my application in debug without a segmentation fault.

You should run the main event loop before the nested one. I don't know for sure that's going to fix it, but it's my suspicion. This means you have to queue the call to QFileDialogTester::openFile. Something like this:

QFileDialogTester test;
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(&test, &QFileDialogTester::openFile, Qt::QueuedConnection);
