Opening files partially (command File/Open partially...)


If you want to edit a very large file and it's not necessary to load all of it into memory, choose this command. First you will have to choose the file you want to open in a File-Open-dialog. Then you must enter the offset from which the file will be loaded and how many bytes to load, or you can check the "Open partially from end of file"-radio button if you want to load data from the end of the file.

Translhextion will now be in partially-opened-mode, which means that whenever you choose the File/Save, the data will be written back to the position they were loaded from. This mode is indicated by a letter "P" in the window title after the file name.
