Description Michał Z. Gołębiowski 2009-10-15 05:27:25 UTC

Version:           2.0.0-1ubuntu2 (using KDE 4.3.2)
Compiler:          gcc/g++ 4.4.1-1ubuntu2 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I tried to view a 700 MB video file (by pressing F3) and Krusader didn't warn me that it is going to open a huge file. I have 4 GB RAM and no swap, but with 1 GB RAM & 1 GB swap (which I had on my old laptop) I suppose it would severely slow down an entire OS.

I think it should be marked as confirmed; I checked it on:
1) Ubuntu Hardy on my old ASUS notebook
2) Ubuntu Karmic on my new DELL notebook
3) Ubuntu Lucid on my new DELL notebook
and I was able to reproduce the bug in all these cases.

Besides, it is very easily reproducible.

Today I accidentally pressed the F3 button after clicking a 4 GB file and OS killed many other useful apps before killing Krusader - the cause of this mess. I think this bug deserves much wider attention than what it has experienced so far.

Krusader 2.3.0 viewer has Lister mode that can handle files of any size, it's called if viewed file is larger than specified size.
