Bug: Label > 64 Characters crashes BoxCryptor

Gordon

Just found a bug in 1.0.9.0 - which might have been there before.
BoxCryptor crashes if you enter more than 64 characters for the label of the BoxCryptor drive. Maybe the length should be limited to less than that?

Nice bug hunt... never imagined someone choosing such a long label :)

Indeed this bug was there before. It's because the text of the notify icon in the system tray may not be longer than 63 characters. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.notifyicon.text.aspx

It will be fixed in 1.1.

PS: In your screenshot there's only "Enable write" although it should be "Enable write validation". Is this only in the image or also in the "real" preferences window?

Indeed, didn't even notice - it's definitely only "Enable write" and not "Enable write validation". Running Windows XP if that matters.

Ok, so in the development version the text input is now limited to 32 characters.

Can you give me some more details about your setup? Which XP version, .NET version, etc. Have you tried restarting BoxCryptor? Our Windows XP test machines show the correct text.

Gordon

It's

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

and .NET versions installed are (clrver output)

Versions installed on the machine:
v2.0.50727
v4.0.30319

BoxCryptor uses v4:
7136 BoxCryptor.exe v4.0.30319

Never actually bothered updating those, maybe this work machine is hopelessly outdated. :)

BoxCryptor 'shows' the missing text reproducibly, restarting does not help.

By the way, guess this doesn't really grant starting a new topic: Would it be possible to add an 'unmount' option to the tray icon? I don't really like having the encrypted drive mounted all day long (since this is a work machine) and as far as I can see the only option to unmount is to actually quit BoxCryptor, right? Kinda inconvenient if you need to restart some thirty minutes later or so. Just a thought.
