If the user policy "Hide the dropdown list of recent files" (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Policies\comdlg32\NoFileMru=1) is activated it is impossible to create or work with directory snapshots.
After choosing the corresponding menu option (Directories->Save snapshot...) or via the "Compare new pair" dialog Examdiff immediately dies.
No error message, no Dr.Watson. Only Examdiff is closed.
Environment: Windows XP SP2 (german) and Examdiff Pro 3.2c (unregistered)
With Windows XP SP1 everything works fine. Even with activated setting.
Good catch. While I could reproduce the problem with creating a snapshot (this will be fixed in the next release), comparing with existing snapshots seems to work fine. Can you confirm it?
Is it only a problem with snapshot comparison, or you can't compare a real file/directory? Also, what other setting do you have under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32?
3. Of course, otherwise I wouldn't open a topic. With NoFileMru=1 set and pressing CTRL-E within examdiff, examdiff immediately vanish
This last point is unclear. I understand (and can reproduce) that EDP crashes if, after a directory comparison, you right-click, then select "Save Snapshot" command -- if you have NoFileMru=1. Now you are saying that it crashes after CTRL-E. I can't reproduce it. What are the steps leading to this?
