File size limit?

Post by Rigido »

Hi Alexey,
I didn't know that there were limits on file size, I tried to open a 141MB file and got the error that the file was too big.

Is it design limit or will it be removed?

Thanks.
Alexey

It is design limit. Text editor loads all file to memory, and uses many buffers...

Just to let you know, Double Commander's internal text editor loaded the file.
It was a mess to move around as there was a single line long 120MB but it loaded :)

@Rigido
Pls try new 1.15 version for big files: allowed file size is 900Mb (it is option ui_max_size_open !)
Big files load MUCH faster now (than in 1.13).

I don't know, I know that long lines >10K gives big slowdown.
