There seems to be a limit to the length of a string that can be received through StringRequest().
At least on OS4, that limit seems to be 1023.
I'm guessing that this is not intentional. Can it be fixed in the next version of Hollywood?

Re: Unintentional Limit in StringRequest()
The problem is that on all Amiga platforms the string requester functions operate on static buffers so there has to be a limit. I could of course raise this to 4096 or to an even higher value. What do you need? On Windows, MacOS, and Linux the limit can of course be removed completely but on Amiga platforms there needs to be a limit.
Re: Unintentional Limit in StringRequest()
I actually only need the limit removed on the Android version.
Since there's no RapaGUI option for Android, I'm using StringRequest() to allow the user to input text, edit, copy, and paste.

Re: Unintentional Limit in StringRequest()
Okay, this is possible:
Code: Select all
- Change: StringRequest() had a limit of 1024 characters; on AmigaOS and compatibles Hollywood still
imposes this limit but on all other platforms it has been removed
