Description
The tool crashes without any error message for every IP-XACT (IEEE 1685) format file I have tried to open.
There are many examples here, e.g., https://github.com/kactus2/ipxactexamplelib/blob/master/tut.fi/communication.bridge/wb_slave_spi_master/1.0/wb_slave_spi_master.1.0.xml.

Research direction
Start by opening the linked IP-XACT example, such as wb_slave_spi_master.1.0.xml, in XmlNotepad and confirm the crash. Trace the file-opening path to determine where this format fails; done means the example opens without crashing or reports an error instead.
