Fyi @winston-de

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 Thanks for reporting this.
Are you referring to the messed up icons in the player, or the details not showing?

[d2dyno1]

@winston-de both.

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1
The messed up icons are an issue with WinUI 2.6, not with Files.

As for the details not showing, I can't reproduce the issue, do you have any other information or a specific file I could test with?

[yaira2]

@d2dyno1 I can't reproduce this issue in v1.4.46.

@winston-de Sample .mp3 file that neither works:

[yaira2]

@d2dyno1 What version of Files do you have?

[d2dyno1]

That was the latest commit where the Interaction was removed on

[d2dyno1]

@yaichenbaum @winston-de Update: This was not caused by #4189. I've cloned the commit before that, and the issue was still present

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 I'm testing on the latest version of main, and the file works as expected.

[d2dyno1]

@winston-de "Works on my machine" 😂

[d2dyno1]

Yo, even the icons are aligned!

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 Wait, that was the wrong screenshot

[d2dyno1]

What? Then why were they aligned in the previous one? 😆

[winston-de]

@yaichenbaum On the subject, would it be alright if I made the logger in App.xaml.cs a public property, and used it to log errors caught when loading the preview and/or details? This would make it much easier to debug issues such as this.

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 I accidently tested on the release version instead of my local dev build.

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 I know it's asking a lot, but could please clone this branch, do the same thing with it, then upload the log files afterwards?
This will help me debug the issue.

[d2dyno1]

Sure, but I'll do it tomorrow

[yaira2]

Yo, even the icons are aligned!

The icon alignment is an issue with WinUI.

[d2dyno1]

@winston-de I've just tested your branch and it still doesn't work :(

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 Yeah I didn't expect it to it's just some debugging stuff, could you upload the log file please?

[d2dyno1]

@winston-de Here it is: debug.txt

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 Thanks. This is very interesting.

I have never seen this before, but I will see if I can fix it.

[d2dyno1]

Could it be because I'm running it in debug mode?

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 This doesn't occur with the store version, correct?

[d2dyno1]

@d2dyno1 This doesn't occur with the store version, correct?

It does not. The store version works as intended.

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 what build are you on?

[d2dyno1]

(From MS Store)

[winston-de]

@d2dyno1 there dont seem to be any changes since 1.3 that changed that part of the code, so yes, I think this is an issue that occurs in debug mode. If you see this occur in a release build, please let me know.

[yaira2]

@duke7553 Is this specific to debug mode?
@d2dyno1 Can you check if this is still an issue with the latest in main?
