for a mistake I dragged a bmp image (about 1 mb) to a TextMate window: apparently the computer hang for about ten minutes, then in the window appeared about 4000 lines of text, then TM close. I repeat a second time with another image: now computer take always about ten minutes to give me the control, but this time TM doesn't crash.
Concerning responsiveness: It would greatly enhance the responsiveness of this list if you would stop messing the threading up. So please do _not_ use the reply button in your mail program, but just write a new mail to textmate@lists.macromates.com if you want to start a new thread. Otherwise the universe will collapse (as noted in the footer) and we really don't want that.
I think the delay is caused by what Allan explained about 4 days ago: TextMate doesn't handle long lines very good if you don't enable soft wrap. And because there are rather few line breaks in BMPs, TextMate sucks at editing 1 MB BMPs. But why would you want to do that anyway, exept by mistake?
Perhaps it should be better to handle these mistakes and tell, i. e., "you could not insert bmp image..." :-)
Maybe TextMate could recognize binary files in general (not just BMPs, that would be rather silly) and kindly ask me about that, Allan? Or could it auto-enable soft wrap for files where long lines would cause problems? Although I'm not sure how to recognize these files in advance.
