"Show in File System" hangs JAlbum app
Posted: 21 Dec 24, 14:56 		 
HI all,

I am using JAlbum 36.1 on an Apple M1 Max Studio under OS15.2, and am experiencing JAlbum hang when selecting an image within the album and choosing "show in file system".

I have followed the instructions in the support area to troubleshoot the issue:
  • launch/relaunch JAlbum
  • try several skins to see if it was a skin or JAlbum bug ((Projector, Responsive, Tiger)
  • make small album of images
  • uninstall/reinstall JAlbum.

Images imported into JAlbum are LINKED to the originals (on Dropbox). I do not want to use the COPY options, to save system space.

Quicktime vid link below.
www.nongraphics.com/showinfilesystem.mov

Note that it does display the selected folder path in Finder, but still need to force-quit JAlbum.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I'll let David chime in, but I suspect the problem is that Dropbox is not part of the file system on your computer. It's external.

(In fact, I'm a little surprised it works at all, even for adding images to the album project.)

Turn on ‘Use watchdog under preferences > Advanced
https://jalbum.net/help/en/jAlbum/Preferences#Use_watchdog

The next time you get a hang of twenty seconds or more force quit and post the thread dump, it will be in the configuration folder.

See if this works better in jAlbum 36.1. v36.1 is running on an updated Java engine (v23). It's this call that probably hangs: 
Desktop.getDesktop().browseFileDirectory(file)
It's a normal call, but interacts with the OS eventually.

Yeah, I try to work that way to save SSD space.

I do have multiple backups (attached HD and NAS, so at least my files are safe as I can get them.

Dave,

I'm sorry, 35.1 is incorrect, I meant 36.1.

I do have an update, though. This morning I tried again. This time, when I right-clicked "show in file system", it worked fine. The second time, same hangup as initially posted.

Don't know if that helps, but as @JeffTucker said, maybe it's DropBox?

Tom

Thread dump is something David understands and might be useful to him.

This looks interesting, based on David’s post above.

I'd say this points to a Java platform integration issue:
Thread[#24,AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main]
java.desktop@23.0.1/com.apple.eio.FileManager._revealInFinder(Native Method)
java.desktop@23.0.1/com.apple.eio.FileManager.revealInFinder(Unknown Source)
java.desktop@23.0.1/sun.lwawt.macosx.CDesktopPeer.browseFileDirectory(Unknown Source)
java.desktop@23.0.1/java.awt.Desktop.browseFileDirectory(Unknown Source)


I did some googling to no avail. See if you can pinpoint what scenario triggers this, then file a report to https://bugs.openjdk.org/.
