Markus' comments on bug 43911 provide more details: --- Markus Mohrhard 2012-01-05 14:21:03 UTC No. We won't increase the column limit soon. First we would need to rework all internal cell datastructures like I did for sheets in 3.5. We still use fixed size containers for columns. That means that increasing the column limit will increase the the memory needed for every sheet extremelly. The column limit of 1024 is a design decision by us. If you are really in need for LibO with a bigger column limit you can easily build one yourself and I tell you the line you need to change to increase the limit. --- --- Markus Mohrhard 2012-01-05 15:30:04 UTC > So, our hopes is to convince developers to increase the "Max Column" limit, or > that they switch to a dynamic size column container approach in order to use > necessary memory. This is not an easy switch. This is more like half a heart transplant and therefore is nothing that will be done just from today to tomorrow. I needed around one month for the change for the sheet change and I think that changing the column container might take much more time. > Is it the final decision that the distributed official LibO version will have > a > "Max Column" limit of 1024 in the near future releases?

It is not a final decision but I doubt that we will increase the column limit if we did not change the column container to a dynamic container. In my dev builds a empty sheet already needs around 150 KB. For the change we need someone who has enough time to work on it. Feel free to step in here and help to improve the situation. You'll get as much help as possible by us and we will assist as much as we can. --- -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
