Bug ID: 458712
Summary: A hex editor with a 2Gb file limit is useless
Product: okteta
Version: 0.26.9
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kosse...@kde.org
Reporter: hpf...@psnarf.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Support for files greater than 2 Gb has not yet been implemented?!
***
Terrabyte storage devices have been around for quite some time. Files greater
than 2 Gb are now quite common, unlike years ago when a 2 Gb limit might have
seemed like a smart idea. In 2022 this limit is an impediment to productivity.
I hunted down and installed GHex, which is not impaired by a design flaw. I
imagine your target audience is those running 32-bit machines. If so, why not a
64-bit version for those in this century?
OBSERVED RESULT
Fails to open a 32 Gb file.
EXPECTED RESULT
A useful tool would open a 32 Gb file. Sadly, okteta is not a useful tool.
