Increase Max filelist size limit

[stoft]

The GUI sets a cap at 100 for MaxFilelistSize. This is insufficient for really large filelists: When browsing really large filelists the message "Greater than maximum filelist size" is returned and no files are displayed.

A workaround is to manually change this value to >100 in DCPlusPlus.xml.

Version: latest from launchpad (afaik)
OS: ubuntu 9.04

True, the default is 100MiB. The limit is there for a reason.

However there's an option in Preferences -> Advanced -> Experts only for controlling the maximum (unpacked) filelist size.

So what's the point of this bug report? You want the limit increased or removed?

That there is a limit is perfectly understandable. I would say raise the limit to 200-300 (but leave default val at 100), it should stay current for a while (hopefully).

Ah, yeah. Sorry I misunderstood the bug report at first. I thought that you weren't aware of the setting in dialog and wanted the filelist size limit removed/increased in the core, but apparently it was the dialog spinbox that was capped...

The spinbox limit could be increased to 2000 and still be safe from overflows in the client code.
The default value of 100 will be left as it is. (there isn't much we can do about it anyway since the client related defaults come from the core, and these should be changed in the windows client first)

I increased it to 1 GB.
