Description freeman3 2010-08-01 14:47:22 UTC

Version:           0.65 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

when I accidentally press F3 on a big file that krusader doesn't recognize, it tries to load whole file into the memory and open it. I happened multiple times to me, when I open for ex 4 GB file, it effectively kills the system. I have opened only 130MB file, but Krusader takes now 500MB of memory even after I have closed the file viewer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
try to open any big file and see what happens. I have tries it on avi file now. Btw it should play the avi file not open it in text viewer.

Actual Results:  
System is unusable because lack of memory

Expected Results:  
Display warning or open only a part of that file

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-12-desktop
Compiler: gcc

This has been fixed in the latest SVN version of Krusader, opening a file larger than X (this is configurable, seems to be set to 10MB by default) will open it in Lister which doesn't load files into memory completely but only views a small segment of the file instead.
