PictView crashes on *.bmp (64-bit)

[Yuriy]

Altap Salamander 3.02 (x64) - PictView does not open any *.bmp files: error message says "Could not open file ***.BMP; Could not load PictView process".
After that, that same message appears when trying to open any picture (jpg, gif etc.) - and when exiting Salamander there is a message about error report.
After exiting Salamander and starting it again, PictView loads any pictures fine - except BMP, of course.

x86 version works fine, though.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem. What Windows version do you use?

[Yuriy]

I am on Windows 7 x64. Have you received my crash report sent by mail?
I will attach another one here.

[Yuriy]

I tried installing older 3.0 x64 version - no, the error is still there
P.S. Not only trying to open *.bmp files, but an attempt to capture a screen leads to that crash of PictView process as well.

Yuriy, I will look at this problem, thank you for bug reports. Could you please install also Altap Salamander 3.02 x86 and try to view BMP there? Would it crash too?

[Yuriy]

Jan Rysavy, as I have said in the first message here, Salamander 3.02 x86 works fine, no errors without that salpvenv.exe!

[Jan Rysavy]

You are right, thank you.

[Yuriy]

Well, you know what? If I change the language of Salamander to English (I tried also French and Czech) then *.bmp viewing works fine!
And manually deleting russian.slg from PictView directory solves the problem as well even if the program and other plugins are still in Russian.

I hope this information will help you correct the error now that we know the reason...

By the way, can anyone reproduce the problem by switching Salamander to Russian?

[Jan Rysavy]

It doesn't work for me. What does the BMP filename look like? Does it contain some Russian characters? Can you reproduce this problem for example with test.bmp?

[Jan Rysavy]

I just reproduced this crash with test.bmp and Russian language! Thank you for finding out the language condition, good catch...

[Jan Rysavy]

Problem will be fixed in Altap Salamander 3.03. Thank you for finding it out.
