Please share your design ideas before implementing anything to avoid substantial code rewrites later on. For example looking at your screen shot, I don't think that setting a maximum file size for extension files is necessary at all. I think the GSt way of saving extension files (.gx01, .gx02, ... , .gx99) should only be used for saving gig files intended to be compatible with the GigaStudio software, and in that case the max. files size would be always 2GB anyway. For the more flexible approach (not intended to be compatible with GigaStudio) that we recently discussed, I do have other plans: for instance it would not use the .gxYY scheme at all, most notably because I want those extension files to have a) any name, not just the same base name as main gig file, and b) I want those extension files to be loadable from different directories than the main gig file in order to allow sharing individual extension files among multiple main gig files. Please also note that I am currently adjusting your previous libgig patch for allowing to save also with a different amount of extension files. So keep that in mind to avoid we two are working on the same thing. I expect to commit these libgig changes in the next couple hours.
