PSPad unicode 4.5.4 (2331) English

pspad:

I don't agree. I am open files with tens of MB in seconds.
If file contains very long lines (tausands of chars), it can slow down PSpad.
Can you send me some of your file packed to support mail if it isn't confidental or private?

Try this:
Program settings / Editor
enable Scroll past EOL

Well, I have that option turned off, but it still takes ages to load big files.

Loading a 2MB textfile with PSPad takes about 30seconds while the CPU is at 100% (luckily I have two of them..)

Doing the same with Textpad or PNotepad, I can't even stop the time it takes to load the file (Textpad and the file are loaded in around a second)

E.g. 103MB TXT file my PSpad include it's start opens in 3s

E.g. 103MB TXT file my PSpad include it's start opens in 3s

While trying again, I noticed that sometimes it is indeed quite fast (although still not as fast as PNotepad or Textpad)

As far as I can tell this is related to the Code Explorer panel (that I usually have open). Even for txt files (that don't display anything the code explorer) it is then extremely slow, but also for .sql files (that don't display anything as well).

But still it's unusable on large XML files when the code explorer is opened (which is a shame because the code explorer for XML files is one of the reasons I stick to PSPad)

Code explorer needs to parse file. It takes some time.
Maybe I add some file size limit to automatically parse file in code explorer

pspad:

Code explorer needs to parse file. It takes some time.

But it shouldn't do that for files that aren't supported anyway.
For text files the code explorer simply displays "Not supported for this type" so why is the file "parsed"?

Sorry, but you wrote about large XML files.
For TXT files PSPad doesn't parse anything.
Switch off Code explorer panel and test your XML files.

In the next build I will you possibility to set file size limit for automatical parsing

I wrote about txt, sql and XML
For XML I can understand that the code explorer slows down retrieval, but not for txt (or SQL)

SQL is parsed too
As I wrote you, I open 103MB file include PSPad start in 3s on my about 2 years old notebook.

I don't know nothing about your system. What takes a long time? PSPad start or open file in running PSpad?

pspad:

Opening the file. Starting PSPad takes about 1 second.
Both systems are about 2 years old as well (2GB RAM each)

You are wrong, If you want open file fast,It must The Option been turn on.
