I have been working closely with a customer to isolate his ‘Failure To Launch’ issue, we have narrowed it down to the Thumbnail Generator crashing when it tries to create a thumbnail for a certain movie he has on his computer. While the problem is that file, it raises the question, why is the Thumbnail Generator even considering opening a movie file? Well the simple answer is, by design. In my tests I found that it just didn’t create a thumbnail for anything other than image files, so I based other code around this code failing. I will change it so that now it check to see if its an image file before trying to create a thumbnail.
