RE: SVN hangs sometims on commit dialog

It works!

The repository contains SolidWork files indeed. After running:
> regsvr32 sldwinshellextu.dll /u
in the solidworks directory, the problem didn't occur anymore. So this seems to solve the problem I experienced.

Thanks a lot Stefan.

I've analyzed the process dump you sent me. Here's what I found:

The commit dialog (and various other dialogs in TSVN) show file icons
for list entries. In the commit dialog, you see a txt icon for text
files, html icon for html files and so forth. The same happens in the
repository browser.

To get those icons, TSVN uses the shell API SHGetFileInfo(). If you look
at the API docs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762179%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

you can see that if the flag SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES is specified, " the
function should not attempt to access the file specified by pszPath".
That's because e.g. in the repo browser, the files are not physically
available. They mostly are in the commit dialog, but the commit dialog
also shows missing and deleted files as well, and those files are not
available either.
And TSVN does not pass full paths to this API anyway since it's not
necessary if the flag SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES is specified. So it would
be very, very rare that an icon handler could even find the file at all.

Now what's happening on your machine is that you've got an icon handler
installed that should return the icon of such a file. But it's faulty in
that it doesn't handle situations where the file isn't available and
then simply hangs/blocks. Not sure if it always blocks under these
circumstances, but it blocks in the process dump you've sent me.

The icon handler is inside the sldwinshellextu.dll which is according to
web search from SolidWorks.

You can try and deregister the icon handler for testing:
https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/9428

regsvr32 sldwinshellextu.dll /u

would deregister the handler. I think that will solve the problems
you're experiencing.
