REQ: increased custom column modes limit

[petergus]

TC 6.55 can store 29 custom column modes.
Will this limit be increased in TC 7?

[Hacker]

Heh, I remember the betatest of 6.50, where I asked to increase the number of custom column views from 9 to some more...

31.08.04 Added: Configuration of multiple (up to 9) custom views
02.11.04 Added: TC now supports a maximum of 29 custom view modes, only the configured modes with a name are listed in the menu

How was the 29 columns limited found? By dicing?

Can anyone (preferrably Ghisler himself ) explain why to have a limited number of commands/ini-switches of a type (cm_usermenuXX, etc.)? Why to set a limit? What are the benefits of such an implementation?

because in the next days, this topic has its 3th birthday (3 years, little fellow!), i'd like to reanimate it (a little bit) by additionally dropping that the naming of each custom column mode is also limited by 35 chars, which is also far away to use it significant or meaningful.

also, in the german forum, there's a new twin-topic born.

EDIT: thanks to Balderstrom for his mathematical calculation skills :) ist erst 2009? ;->

@ XPEHOPE3KA : In C, the arraySize would need to be predefined before compile - but delphi supports Dynamic Arrays, so the limit doesn't make sense.
