Bug: Files crashes constantly after new update

[thimok]

Description

The files browser crashes constantly in 2 ways after the new update:

1. When clicking once on any folder
2. When going to settings -> files & folders

For the first error it's a JSON exception.
For the second one it's an XamlParseException.

This is blocking me of using Files

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Files
2. Click once on any folder -> crash
3. Open settings -> click files & folders -> crash

@Josh65-2201 how can I force an update? It did the update to 4.0.20.0 automatically without me doing anything. I don't see an update button.

[Josh65-2201]

You can downloaded it from the site https://files.community/download or by closing and reopening Files

I closed it (also via taskmanager) but it doesn't update / prompt for update yet.

It has to download before it will show that the update is ready to install, you can also use the installer from the site

v4.0.21 hasn't finished deploying to stable yet. Please try again soon.

Okay, thank you. I'll wait a bit until it's released.

[Josh65-2201]

It should be downloadable now

Thanks, it's fixed!
