Volunteers does not have to know Programing. //- Question and Answer Q: Is there any way to increase the size of a textfile property so that you can view more than 2048 bytes? A: "InfoTip Extension" give InfoTip contents to Explorer. Then, Explorer show InfoTip contents into InfoTip window, but Explorer cut contents to 1023 characters. So, there is no way. Q: Ok, but why 2048 bytes? why not 1023 bytes? A: Yes, it's OK, if 1 character is 1 byte. But if 1 character is not 1 byte, 1023 bytes is not enough, like UNICODE or Japanese. These need 2 bytes for 1 character. //- History 2.0.3.96 - InfoTip delay time is extended, about 32 seconds, too long? - Change, "Show as Text" is limited to 2048 bytes. 2.0.3.95 - Make a bit change to "about dialog". - Change to gather locale independent resources in main module. 2.0.3.94 - Adds, Dutch resource.
