*.txt files problem

[guest000000000001]

There was a problem when I was viewing fullscreen images and big .txt file was in directory too. He was too big for rendering and my computer stuck with no memory available. It's a problem.

(WinXP + v.4.10)

That was this file, I think.

I think IrfanView has a problem with some code in this particular file. The file is Unicode text, which is what is causing the problem. IrfanView can open it on my PC, but it doesn't render any text. The file information suggests that it would be huge, but it is not that wide when opened in a text editor.

To work around the problem, from Properties, Extensions, select "Load only Associated File Types." Assuming that you haven't associated text files with IrfanView, these files will be skipped when browsing pictures and other media files.
