Segfault when switching folders in file explorer

[scrubbbbs]

Nomacs segfaults when switching between two folders in the file explorer before allowing them to finishing thumbnailing. It doesn't always happen but only takes me a few tries.

It seems like DkThumbNail::computeIntern() is always on the stack so I guess this is a race or double-free on the const QString& fileName parameter since it tends to be passed to some function that segfaults (which varies). The problem might be the assumption that QString is thread-safe, in which case the solution could be to give each thread a copy.

I think its a known bug in hibernation since there is a comment in DkThumbNail::computeIntern() about a crash though no specific details are mentioned.

Here's a couple of stack traces; both in different places but the QString filename is involved in both places.

This is Linux, git master 6dfc779. I can also confirm on 3.17.2206 Ubuntu package.

Hello @scrubbbbs, thanks for reporting. Could you provide your system (windows?) and the version of nomacs?

[leejuyuu]

Could you specify which commit? Something like git master would be ambiguous for future readers.

[leejuyuu]

@scrubbbbs please add a Fixes <issue link> in the commit or PR body next time so they link to and close issues automatically when merged, thanks.

[leejuyuu]

Should be fixed by #1085.

[scrubbbbs]

Thanks, I did not know that was possible.
