MediaMonkey

Crashes when subclassing

What's affected?
  • Snap to edge
  • Drag to maximize
  • Window transparency when dragging

MediaMonkey is a media jukebox. It crashes whenever another window subclasses it. Subclassing is used by MaxTo enable the snap-to-edge and drag-to-maximize features.

This shim disables subclassing of MediaMonkey.

Can be disabled

This shim can be disabled in MaxTo if you go to Options, Compatibility, and clicking on MediaMonkey. You should find a toggle switch to disable it.

Note that shims should only be disabled if you have a legitimate reason to do so, and accept that disabling them may cause applications to crash.

What are compatibility shims?

Compatibility shims are our way of telling MaxTo that some programs react badly to being handled by some of MaxTo's functionality.

Each compatibility shim has a description text and a list of functionality that is affected. Some are small and do not result in loss of functionality, others cause MaxTo not to work at all (and the reason for the compatibility shim then is simply to prevent apps from crashing).

This list is kept up to date outside of MaxTo's release cycle, and will be updated automatically by MaxTo.
