How important is this feature for future versions of TextPad?

Important, even if the size/efficiency of TextPad increases/degrades

Just a *small* bug

Post by Web1X »

Cannot open very, very large files, like over 300MB. I get a disk full error even though I have plenty of disk space.

Update

Post by Web1X »

I'm thinking this must be an OS issue. Cannot open very large files in Windows 98SE. Here are the test results of 3 systems on which I've tried opening a 400MB file:

Code: Select all

Opens?  OS         Memory  Free HD Space
----------------------------------------
Yes     WinXP      512MB   33G
No      Win98SE    512MB   60G
Yes     Win95OSR2  192MB   3.4G
Test File (Don't worry, it's zipped to less than 2K!)

You need to have enough disk space on the disk where the swap file is located...

Which size is your swap file allowed to grow to?

Forgot, I had this drive partitioned, only 10G free space on my swap file partition! :wink: Fully defragged too.

Virtual memory settings: min 512M, no max.

Also, tried on another Win98SE system, 256MB RAM, 1.3G free HD and it opened. I don't know, maybe something with my system. Not a big deal as I rarely need to open files that big and I'm replacing this box soon.
