Textpad 8.1.1: Search results filled with warnings

Post by kikosoft2 »

This issue had bugged me for some time. Every search I do results in 99.9% WARNINGS with an occasional real result. Like this:

Code: Select all

I try to remove all big files, but some I cannot avoid. In my opinion these warnings serve no purpose. They might be useful for debugging textpad, but to me as an user they are in the way of the real results. Could they please be suppressed? It really hinders the usability of the program.

Yes, I'd also like to have a switch for deactivating these warnings.

Furthermore I'd like to know the consequences of this warning:
  1. Does that mean that literals can't be found anymore when now being split onto two lines?
  2. Does that mean a regular expression won't match either, because there are now more start/end of line markers?
  3. What's the technical purpose of rendering all input files into lines? Which can't be longer than 64 KiB?
  4. Why not having a setting where you can increase/decrease this size?
