Might want to check Ctrl-R in 6.60 B5....its loading much more than text, srr and par2 files. It loading the entire binary file as well, i.e. a .MKV file, and overwhelming Notepad.

Thanks

I will thanks.

I doubt it's the whole thing. I'll bet it's the first decoded chunk of the first rar.

That makes sense and explains what I'm seeing.

Thanks

- Fixed issue where Ctrl-R would sometimes load the binary parts of some of the decodes into wordpad. Sometimes Notepad hangs badly.

Beta 6 is still having this issue for me. 6.55 works fine for me.

Thanks

I wonder if it's post dependent? I had it happen once then not again. Looking at the code, there's nothing obvious wrong.

Oh well. I'll have to look some more.

Can't you just use the 6.55 code?

For the most part it is using the 6.55 code. It's not obvious why binary is getting into the mix.

Beta 7 still doing the same thing, downloading the first chunk.

I was looking for this post. I actually fixed it for real this time. It wasn't what I thought it was. What was happening was when the files are being combined together, Newsbin was setting the length to be the length of the yenc encoded data so, it wasn't writing binary but, the binary was still at the end because it was setting the wrong file length. If you look in the "Read Posts" folder, you'll see that these files are too big even though it didn't actually download that much.

That's why even though the code for Ctrl-R was the same, code outside the Ctrl-R was causing this.

It's fixed now.

Yes, files in the Read Post Folder are huge.

Let me know when you post a fixed Beta.

Thanks

Beta 8

Ctrl-R Action seems to be much better. How is NB dealing with .SRR files? I see the beginning of the .SRR file, but still have to download the .SRR file to see the beginning of the file that has the .NFO data.

Thanks

Beta 10

Ctrl-R still shows the file as downloaded after using Ctrl-R.

Still does not show .SRR contents.

Thanks

Had a post today that was a .NFO file. Ctrl-R would not view the contents, only the Header info. When I downloaded it, it would open and I could see the whole message. TextPad says the file type is PC with a Codeset of Unicode (big endian). Could the Ctrl-R issue of not showing the file be a Codeset compatibility issue?

Thanks

It has to guess if a file is text or not. UTF-16 is binary. UTF-8 is mostly text. If I had to guess I'd guess it's UTF-16

Well, I still have the file if you want to review. The idea is to prevent viewing under normal circumstances trying to somewhat secretive from certain eyes. This seems to work forcing a download to view.

Thanks

6.61RC1

Seems Ctrl-R displays most .SRR files, but still misses some. Are the formats moving around or changing on NB?

Thanks

Not all SRR's will necessarily contain an NFO file. I'd look to see if the SRR contains the NFO or not.

Ok, maybe my expectations are off.

Did a Ctrl-R on the main post and did not see any thing of value and certainly no NFO info. Clicked on the + sign, saw the .SRR file, single left click to select it and then did a Ctrl-R and saw the NFO among other stuff.

This procedure and result is what made me report this behavior. Are my expectations off?

Thanks
