Description
The problem was that GitShortcutItem cannot be cast to ShortcutItem because GitShortcutItem only inherits from GitItem and IShortcutItem. It cannot additionally inherit from ShortcutItem, since a class in C# cannot have multiple base classes.
Simply casting to IShortcutItem everywhere did not work, as the IShortcutItem interface would lack properties of the ListedItem (such as ItemPath).
That's why I decided to create an interface IListedItem. IShortcutItem & IGitItem now both inherit from this interface.
Problems only occurred with shortcut items that are part of a git repository. Not all of them led to a crash, some only displayed error messages or led to incorrect behavior. Here is a list of affected actions:
