Test result of Avogadro-0.9.5-win32b

Concerning the crash:

  • Strangely the crash only occurs, when you double click on a file in
    Windows file explorer.
  • When I drag the file to Avogadro’s main window or use the menu File
    → Open, the molecule is
    correctly displayed.

Have you tried calling Avogadro from the DOS command-line? (Does this
even work?)

Yes, and this works.

I think Avogadro.exe [filename] might reproduce the crash.

Yes this crashes Avogadro.

  • Keep the filename as it is (here it is “test.mol”), only use another
    file type, e.g. *.xyz and
    press Save

Does the file extension change in the dialog itself?

Yes this works, but the file is saved with its old file extension instead of the chosen one.

Expected behaviour: Avo removes the ending mol and saves a file named
“test.xyz”

So do you see “test.xyz” in the dialog, but an attempt to save “test.mol”?

No the “Filename” field of the dialog hows still the old filename, see the attached screenshot.
