Tablacus crashes when handling autocad file (Extension .dwg) like opening, drag and drop.

Please provide more info:
(1) Screen captures showing how you open the file (click, press Enter key, etc.) and drag-and-drop to where.
(2) From where you open / drag the file? Is it a normal folder or something else?
(3) Any error message when TE crashes.
(4) Please install a fresh and separated copy of TE (no additional add-on) and disable WebView2 (by deleting tewv32.dll and tewv64.dll in lib folder), then try opening / drag-and-drop the file. Does the same problem occur?

1. Please find the gif here.
   Current TE: https://files.catbox.moe/g86acm.webp
   Fresh TE: https://files.catbox.moe/fh5ezu.gif
   I have tried to open the dwg file by double click and by pressing enter, but it is not working. The same happens with the fresh TE (no additional add-on) and disable WebView2.
2. Just normal folder.
3. No error message.
4. I try but not work, you can see that by the gif.

(5) Is it successful if you open / drag-and-drop the file in WINDOWS FILE EXPLORER?

(6) Can you show the context (right-click) menu of the file using

• WINDOWS FILE EXPLORER?
• TE?

(7) Which application will be opened with the file? Web browser or Windows app (e.g. DWG TrueView)?

5. Yes it can be opened and drag-drop with WINDOWS FILE EXPLORER.
   Please find the gif for detail: https://files.catbox.moe/9ec2x6.gif
6. Please find the gif above for detail, i can open the file by context menu in explorer, but with TE it crashes when i right click the file.
7. Autocad LT.

[ccfs]

I suspect that "AutoCAD LT" requires ".NET 8", which is incompatible with "Visual Studio Express 2017" used by TE.

"is .net 8 compatible with Visual Studio Express 2017" - answer from Google:

No, Visual Studio Express 2017 is not compatible with .NET 8.
Visual Studio Express 2017 supports .NET Framework versions up to 4.7 and .NET Core versions up to 2.0. .NET 8 requires a significantly newer version of Visual Studio, specifically Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8 or higher.
To develop applications targeting .NET 8, you would need to upgrade to a more recent version of Visual Studio, such as Visual Studio 2022.

Therefore you may need to wait for TE upgrade by Gaku the author.
