Unable to open for viewing/editing 3Mb+ files

Post by *Digika »

According to htop I have ~1.92GB memory free but TC dies when I attempt to open anything above 2-3Mb for editing. What could be the issue?

Digika,
AFAIR the used Android edit control is very limited in this regard.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

It's a limit I set myself, sorry. The Android edit control becomes MUCH slower once the file size gets above about 1-2MB - not only loading the data, but also scrolling and editing. Writing my own edit control would be very time consuming, I don't have that free time now. Try opening the file with a word processor like MS Office for Android or some other office suite which doesn't use the Android edit control.
