Please note:

(*) "file limit" means the feature is available or not depending on the total number of loaded files. For example, text editing is available with up to 30 loaded files.

(1) The total number of loadable text files depends
  • on the amount of available memory: In general, a machine with 1 GByte of memory is able to load 30000 text files or more without swapping.
     
  • on a technical limit: Depeche View is a 32-bit executable, therefore even on a machine with 4 GB or more of memory, the amount of loaded text - as displayed while loading - should not exceed 1 GB (or 1.5 GB of internal memory as seen in the task manager). this is usually sufficient for 100000 text files.

(2) For .zip, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 loading, the following restrictions apply:
  • archive file contents must fit completely into memory. in general, archives below 100 mb should be ok, but beyond that your machine must provide enough memory.
     
  • zip files must use a normal compression format (DEFLATE), e.g. as it is produced by the InfoZIP or WinZIP tool. (most zip files in the internet use DEFLATE compression.) exotic compressions and 64-bit zip files are NOT supported.
     
  • .tar, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files produced by non-Windows/Linux operating systems, or produced by old and exotic tar tools may slightly differ in their format, and may fail to read.
To make sure than you can load the archive files you're most interested in, test loading first in DView Base, which loads up to 1000 bytes of every archive file entry.

(3) If extended mouse buttons can be used depends on your computer hardware and software. Test this feature first in DView Base, by loading less than 300 files.

(4) Clipboard automation also depends on other applications running on your system, therefore test it first in DView Base, by loading less than 50 files, up to 15 minutes.
