FIXED: crash loading a .md file !!

Post by DerellLicht1 »

I am using one of your test copies (with markdown fixes)... I just tried to load a 316-line, 156KB .md file into the program...
When I tried to drag the file from Explorer into the editor, it simply crashed the program... greyed-out windows, no keyboard response... had to terminate program from the command line...
when I then tried loading it *from* the command line, into texted.exe that was already open... the file appeared in the window, I got a busy cursor for about 30 seconds, then it came back to operation... but the cursor is *very* sluggish and intermittent...

Later observation: the drag and drop operation didn't actually "crash" the program, it just takes a *long* time to finish loading, just as loading from command line did...

I am enclosing the offending file here, for your reference...

Later note:
After looking at this file in another editor, I can guess why RJTE is struggling with it...
This is a .md file that is a record of a conversation that I had with Gemini, and I then saved to file using a Firefox extension - and all of the Google ads were crammed into the file... so there are tons of markdown image links, with paths that are hundreds, sometimes thousands of characters long!! Yikes...

Still, RJTE *should* be able to handle it without running aground...
