Buffer size for binary compare - 100 bytes

[Dave_L]

[Build 456 on MEPIS 7]

In the Tweaks dialog (Control-Shift-T), the setting "Buffer size for binary compare" has a default value of 100 bytes. Is that correct? Should I increase it?

On my WinXP install of build 456, the default value is 65536 bytes.

There's a glitch in the spin edit that keeps it from going above 100. We'll have Jacques look into it. For now, if you haven't modified anything in the tweaks dialog it will still use the correct (64KB) default. If you have modified a tweak (even an unrelated one), it will be written as 100 in BCPreferences.xml, but to comparison code itself won't use anything smaller than 16KB, so it'll use that instead. If that's the case you'll need to edit BCPreferences.xml manually to get a better value in, or just delete the line entirely (BinaryCompareBufSize).

Thanks for the explanation.

This will be fixed in the next release.
