1. As I already said, I don't know, I'm not aware of any enforced hard limits. But hey, this is ancient Win XP time stuff...
2. Depending on what editor you start from the script you can use different size limits to warn on

Re: rename using a text editor
please upload the ColumnEdit_v1.1.zip with the .ahk file
i would like to check what happens if i change the %TEMP% to some other simple folder
chances are tiny but maybe this will remove that strange limit which is present in my OS but is absent in yours

Re: rename using a text editor
Sorry, I don't post the source code to any of my external helper tools anymore.
The two relevant lines are:
while the columnEditFile points to:
FileRead doesn't obey the #MaxMem limit, it can read files up to ~1GB into memory.
In other words: It absolutely doesn't matter where the file is stored, as long as the tool
can access it.
The two relevant lines are:
Code: Select all
FileRead, content, % "*P65001 "columnEditFile ; UTF-8
ControlSetText, , % content, % "ahk_id" columnEditControlHWND
Code: Select all
columnEditFile := A_Temp "\~ColumnEdit.txt"
In other words: It absolutely doesn't matter where the file is stored, as long as the tool
can access it.

Re: rename using a text editor
Try v1.2, it sends a EM_EXLIMITTEXT message to the edit control before it tries to populate it
The limit is raised to 64MB (it seems old systems try to use only 32k...). If this doesn't work -> Bad luck

Re: rename using a text editor
v1.2 certainly performs better:
1 324 850 characters (1,26 mb) - works
1 325 545 characters (1,26 mb) - doesn't work
the previous limit was 1,13 mb
1 324 850 characters (1,26 mb) - works
1 325 545 characters (1,26 mb) - doesn't work
the previous limit was 1,13 mb
128MB?The limit is raised to 64MB
Re: rename using a text editor
For what? The limit was raised by a factor of 200. And the gain was just 0.13 MB of an increased file size128MB
Doesn't make sense to up it further

Re: rename using a text editor
is it possible to up it further? i'm asking because i don't know at all
now it's 64MB. what is the higher possible value?
if it's possible and if it's not difficult, i ask you to raise the limit so that we can see the result
for the sake of curiosity and practical sense
for me the difference between 1,13 mb and 1,26 mb is already quite notable (1 324 850 characters versus 1 185 759)
and i think it is worth to try more
and also the size of the ColumnEdit v1.2 is the same comparing to the previuos version (not bigger at all)

Re: rename using a text editor
thank you for the moment of hope. unfortunately the result is basically the same:
1 325 024 characters (1,26 mb) - works
1 325 059 characters (1,26 mb) - doesn't work
we may of course get some more information about this limit
it would require somebody who is curious about this problem (with the win2003 sp2 32-bit installed in virtual machine)
this way we can find out whether this problem is general for win2003 or some settings in my win2003 are causing this behaviour
but i understand that most likely it's not going to happen

Re: rename using a text editor
Do it yourself? Make an image of your current installation (e.g. with https://clonezilla.org/),
set it up from scratch, test it, find out what you need to know, restore your original installation...
