- //- 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" gives the InfoTip contents to Explorer. Then, Explorer
- shows the InfoTip contents in the InfoTip window, but Explorer cuts the
- contents to 1023 characters. So, there is no way.
-
- Q: Ok, but why 2048 bytes? Why not 1023 bytes?
-
- A: Yes, that's OK, if 1 character is 1 byte. But if 1 character is not 1 byte,
- 1023 bytes is not enough, as with UNICODE or Japanese. These need 2 bytes for 1
- character.
