Crash opening files from mounted Dokan SSHFS drive

Hi Aaron,

I'm looking at our exception logs.  Are you from Spain?  I see an exception logged by a user for when trying to open a file, and I'm wondering if that is from you.  The error message is:

Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

Is that what you see too when you try this?  Which device are you using (manufacturer and type)?

Hi there, yes I live in Spain.

That particular error message was one I received yesterday when attempting to make the Filezilla FTP client open files with Code Writer (it was defaulting to using notepad, even though .css files are associated with Code Writer in Windows) by experimenting with various command lines (such as "c:\windows\explorer.exe .css:" in order to use protocol activation) but nothing was working.

This issue doesn't show an error - the application just closes. Does it store logs on my local machine?

My device is a Sony Vaio Duo 11 (i5 3317U / 8GB RAM) with Windows 8 x64 standard.

Hi Aaron,

We don't currently store error logs on the local machine.  That's not a bad idea for the future though.

We were able to create a repro of this issue by duplicating your setup.  It turns out that the code blowing up is where we call some of Microsoft's API to add the file to the most recently used file list.  It seems Microsoft's API throws an error since this is a customized file system being added to it and probably isn't compatible with MRU tracking.  Unfortunately that is out of our hands and we can't do anything to fix it since it's in the core Microsoft API.  But what we will do is handle the error so no crash occurs.  The only negative side effect you'll see is that your file won't show up in the recent documents list.  This update will be in v1.5.

Thank you very much for such a fast response and resolution to this problem - I look forward to the new build appearing on the Windows Store soon!

Aaron
