Hi,
is it just me, or folding status of a file is not preserved after closing and reopenng it, when the number of lines/folding marks is too high?
e.g., I have a file with > 4000 folding markers (don't ask) and the last ones reappear unfolded each time I open back the file. The same happens with a file having ~870 markers but a lot more text in bewteen the markers, so I do not know what is the threshold of the bad behaviour.
Regards Piero

The folding markers are saved as an extended attribute for the file. When I added this I ran into the problem that these have a size limit, so even for modestly sized files, I had to gzip the data to not run into the size limit.
I am not entirely sure of the state of the size limit, I do recall Jacob claiming to have tested this and not found a size limit on a recent OS version, but most likely this is what happens for you (to confirm, try cut the file in half and save that).
