  • Text File Size Limit?

    From Byte Knight@3:633/10 to All on Monday, November 17, 2025 09:30:01
    Is there a size limit for a text file with the ANSI / Text File Gallery viewer? I?ve added some game walkthroughs to my Text File section and the built-in text viewer can?t even get through a third of some of the
    documents. Is there a way to increase the size that the built-in text file viewer can read or a better text file viewer for the latest version of
    Mystic?

    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know if there is a size limit for the whole text file, but I did discover there is a line length limit. I had some issues when I text files where paragraphs did not have line breaks, and things where wonkey for me. You might want to check that.

    Hope that helps.
