64kB limit

Post by g4gxl »

I know the trial version was limited to 10kB, but I wasn't expecting a 64kB limit on maximum file size after paying.

Did I miss something ?
Will this limit be increased ?

Thanks,
Steve

This 64 kb limit is used on the test file only, which is loaded into memory and operared on there using F3, Ctrl-F3 and F4. - HTH
Then I open up and see

Oops ! Thanks for the quick reply.

I should have RTFM, it's there in the Testing section.

Cheers,

This was also unclear to me...and caused quite a bit of muttering under my breath (especially since I had just purchased the license after trying it out for a few days).

Two suggestions:

1. Make the error message specifically mention the test window. Right now it simply says "Cannot load files > 64 KB".

2. Offer to load the first 64KB. If I'm testing an expression, most likely what I'm looking for will be in that first 64K (heck, most of the time I'm replacing things on every line). This makes it easier than having to pull up TextPad, open the large file, delete lots of stuff and save as new file. Then go back to WildEdit and test with new file...

Is there a max file size?

Hi All,

Pardon the newbie question, but I am hoping to search a text file that is 68 mg. Can Wildedit handle that?

Thanks
