//- 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.
