Out of memory-Probably not a bug but maybe something can be done

TC 10b9, Windows 10 20H2

I downloadaded this file https://web.archive.org/web/20200606020809if_/http://ftp.freedb.org/pub/freedb/freedb-complete-20200601.tar.bz2

Tar file in the .bz2 has ~4 million files in it. I selected them all and wanted to extract them and TC crashed:

My computer has 4 GB of RAM but OS sees onl 3.7 (or something) - I should recheck this.

The first time the copy operation started successfuly, the second time it crashed.

And the point of this post: maybe TC should not crash - it should report an error (file comparison does this).

It doesn't crash, it just gives an out of memory warning. You can try to close and re-open TC and then try again to open the file. The problem here isn't the available memory, but memory fragmentation (not enough memory space in one block for the huge list).
