I bought RapidPHP 2007 and I'm still amazed. But there is one thing that always drove me nuts - opening large files (e.g. MySQL dumps, log files) in RapidPHP... While opening a 50 MB MySQL dump in PSPad takes about 2 seconds, RapidPHP freezes opening this file size.
So I thought maybe the new version (2011) doesn't have this issue anymore, I just downloaded the trial version and surprise surprise...it's still the same...
Maybe there is a hint or workaround? I can't believe that this is really an issue?

Re: Large Files
Unfortunately I don't think anything was changed in that part of the software between 2010 and 2011. I am aware that in previous versions of HTMLPad and WeBuilder, files with unusually long lines of code in the same tag would hang things up a bit, though that seems to have been at least partially resolved. It would likely mean an entire rewrite of the interface to change that behaviour and I suppose it is a matter of whether to spend time doing that or perhaps using the time to develop some new and requested features; present company excepted, I wouldn't imagine many of us open files of that size all that often, so it may be a case of the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
These editors are not perfect, but they are getting there (for my needs at any rate).

Thanks for the reply, Dave.

I agree with you! I don't open those files to often but... I use WinSCP for SSH and within WinSCP I defined 'RapidPHP' as the default editor. That way, I can edit my PHP, HTML, CSS stuff directly on the server with RapidPHP. Just double click and bham you go. Just because I'm used to work this way I sometimes - unfortunately - double click (instead of downloading) on one of those huge files, e.g. after dumping the database, and then RapidPHP freezes and I can't access all the other files that are opened in RapidPHP. In most cases I have to kill RapidPHP via the task killer (annoying if you had unsaved files opened in RapidPHP...)davenz wrote:I wouldn't imagine many of us open files of that size all that often, so it may be a case of the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
