Text file size limit for viewer plugin
« on: May 07, 2008, 12:45:45 PM »
Sorry if this is not in the right place but I tried searching and didn't see anything.

I use my Ipod 30G with RB to read books in text format.  The files are around 1 MB.  The viewer freaks out when I get about halfway through the book.  It jumps back to an earlier spot in the book and wont scroll any further down.  I get around this by cutting the book into pieces.  Is this a known issue?  I would love to be able to help fix it but my skills are pretty rudimentary and I don't even know where to start.

What SVN revision are you using? I remember a problem like this in the past, but I thought it'd been fixed.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

The viewer is supposed to load text files by part: it should have no maximum filesize at all, despite only having access to 512k of memory.

Sorry but I don't have my ipod with me at the moment to check.  I seem to recall updating to a build sometime in January.  I just updated yesterday after posting and I haven't checked it yet.  I will try tonight and let you know version and specific file size limit.

As per the forum guidelines, in the future please don't report problems with builds other than the current one.
