Hello,
Here's the catch:
- Opening a large SQL file in e (size = 2.7MB)
- Takes some time
- Now search for some string
- It takes e a fare amount of time to start highlighting occurrences
- Now, I want to scroll to see the occurrences
- e starts using 100% of a CPU, and stop responding to my interaction requests
Now, I try and do exactly the same with Notepad++. Guess what? No problemo at all. And I guess Notepad++ cost is not related (although it's free).
So far:
- Some operations in e are not multi-threaded (searches / result highlights are blocking). I mean, wow.
- Some operations seem to have been implemented with Shlemiel the Painter algorithms in mind (for those who don't know, just look for it on Google and pick up the one posted on JoelOnSoftware blog; the reason I'm not posting the link is that I did, but then, I got an error screen saying kiddo, you're too young, you just can't post URLs in forum's entries right now - how great to let me know AFTERWARDS)
Now, if that was an Open Source thing, I would happily contribute in order to solve these issues. Oh my...

| Seconded - I'd like to use e to look through a lot of log files in my day job and frequently forget it takes an age to respond if you open a sever-megabyte-big .txt file. |

| I'm having the same problem. Trying to open files with really long lines will make e hang and crash. |

sometimes certain files get really slow
editing and scrolling hiccup, highlighting and find/replace hang for 3-5 seconds before working
i think this has to do with the long lines in a few of the 15-20 tabs i have open, since i can open 15-20 files sometimes with no strange lag. this lag doesn't appear to be memory-management related |

*bump*
This bug is really making me consider not using e and windows at all for my development and going back to textmate on my macbook.
Can someone at least provide an explanation of why this issue occurs, so at least know the direction I can to avoid/mitigate it?
Waiting so long for a bugfix in a purchased piece of software is getting annoying. |

Opening the compressed version a tinyMCE file which, naturally, has really loooooong line crashes e miserably.
Also I noted when opening remote ftp folders you cannot edit them since the application is trying to create the temp files inside the Program Files folder which, you guessed well, have no permissions for normal users. Only workaround is opening e as administrator, this should be changed to create temp files in the AppData environment variable of the user.
I hope this do gets fixed, I also paid because I thought this was a good piece of software, and I still think it is, itīs just annoying not being able to open files which any other editor as notepad can. |

Yeah, I had the same issue when I downloaded a big JS file off the net to work with (it is now 2,404 lines, had to cut some of it off).
I even tested this in other editors, such as Notepad++ and Netbeans which didn't have much of a problem with the file. |

| I have to agree - notepad++ beats e hands down in this area (especially when regex is involved). Looks like it has been an issue for a while now and not even a peep from the dev ... not cool. |

Count my vote on this as well.
I really love the style of e but this is a deal breaker for me. I'm currently a bit over a week into my trial license and I find myself still having to go back to Notepad++ for a lot of things.
Note that I had to register on these forums just to be able to post this. |
