turn off info panel warning (file too large to fully display

I use the info panel constantly for identifying and sorting text files. The "Hugh Text File" warning is absolutely annoying - is there a way to permanently turn it off? I get it: I can't see the whole file, understood. Now, let me turn the warning off. Even with the "don't display again this session" check box, I've checked that box every day for years now, and I'm tired of doing it.
You have the best file manager I've ever seen.
Thanks, Rodney

Welcome to the club!
How large are your files? Would it help if I raised the limit from 10 to 50 MB?

+1.
How about removing the dialog altogether in favor of a notification at the top of the Raw view?

Yep, that's also a possibility.

I download old public domain books on various subjects, convert them with OCR to text files that can be searched - most are less than 5 meg. If raising the limit is an easy work-around, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks, Rodney

I actually raised it to 100 MB, so you should be fine.

The message still says 10 Mb, please correct it...
Any I got an Error 14 bug, out of string space, when I tried to view a 150 Mb PDF file...

Alright, guess 50 MB was the better choice...

This error message is not permanent. Sometimes it comes, sometimes not. :-S (And 100 would be so convenient, it would fit so well to my files.)

Sure, it depends on the state of your RAM. But 50MB appears to be safe.

OH, damned, I just saw that "10 MB" is hardcoded in the translation. So I cannot do anything quickly now. I make a note for 17.00.

OK, I learned the True Detective theme on the guitar, thought about the Raw View while doing it (quite fitting IMO), and came up with this:
Code: Select all
* Raw View: Decreased the limit back to 10MB. 100 MB was just using too much
memory.
* Raw View: Decided to remove the "Huge Text File" prompt altogether.
Instead, for files larger than 10 MB, "(cropped)" is shown in the Raw
View's meta data section, and "... [continues]" is shown at the bottom of
the preview. Better work flow, less is more.

Your last post sounds wonderful. Any idea when 17.00 will roll out?
Thanks for the quick solution. I am a happy camper already.

I got the Beta - it works wonderfully. Thank you so much. I appreciate good tools; XYplorer is one of my very best. Rodney
