Simply trying to cut and paste a 280kb file to an empty new blank page in Vedit 6.11.1 in XP. Getting a "Not enough memory for operation" error box. Works fine in Notepad. Have plenty of Ram - 256mb.

Any suggestions?

This is a common problem which has caught us all out at some time.

If you create a new file, then SaveAs you enable Vedit to perform memory paging, and it should work.

In VEDIT 6.12, the error message was changed to:

Operation requires an open file - try {FILE, Save as}

In a few other situations 6.12 will now report:

Not enough VEDIT resources for operation

It now never says "not enough memory" because that implied adding more memory to your computer, which is never the case.

What about an enhanced dialog here:


      "Operation requires an open file - try {FILE, Save as}"

      [OK] [File save as] [Save as temp. file]

[OK] simply closes the message box as today.

[File save as] starts the standard {File, Save as} dialog

[Save as temp. file] silently does a
File_Save_As("|(VEDIT_TEMP)\VED|(PID).tmp", OK+NOMSG)
(optionally with a message: "Saved to temporary file,
which is deleted after closing VEDIT.)

Or even a bit more intuitive than my last suggestion:


      "The operation requires an open file!

      You can

      - choose a file to save to by your own

      - or let VEDIT use a temporary file,

      which is deleted automatically when exiting VEDIT.

      Then repeat the operation."

      

      [File save as]  [Use temp. file]  [Cancel]


[File save as] starts the standard {File, Save as} dialog

[Use temp. file] silently does a
File_Save_As("|(VEDIT_TEMP)\VED|(PID).tmp", OK+NOMSG)

[Cancel] closes the dialog box without any action

I don't like the idea of fancy dialog boxes for error break-outs; it can easily lead to an infinite loop of error messages.
