Wow, thanks for the quick reply! I've been a long time (happy) user of Total Commander (since the Win3.11 days), but this is my first visit and entry in the forum.

Is it possible that the limit in the future can be overwritten manually in the .ini file or something? The competent user should be aware of the drawbacks if he edits the .ini file with such an entry.

Support ++^2

If it slows down lister in some situations (the least nowadays), it can be left to user decision, put it in config and inform about consequences. But it would be a great inprovement 4K lines.


Plz.

Christian, how about allocating additional blocks of memory and performing additional reads from disk only when it's needed (i.e. if file has long lines)?
I mean: you allocate and fill initial block of memory (as usual), parse and render it. If data is not enough to fill entire Lister's window, you allocate additional block, and so on.
This way Lister will keep its speed and memory consumption for normal users and will satisfy users with files with long lines.
