overflow freeze

Post by roedygr »

IfI attempt to open too many files in HTML Validator, it freezes.

Other preferable behaviours include:

1. refuse to load any of the files.

2. load some safe subset of the files, and warn me It did not get everything.

3. load one file at a time, validate it. If it has no errors/warnings, discard it, and keep going until you have a safe complement of files that need work.

Agree with your suggestions for graceful degradation. What have you found to be "too many files"?

There are no set limits that I'm aware of when opening files.

As Lou asked, I'd like to know what is "too many"? Do you have a specific number as that would be helpful. I could then try to reproduce this issue by opening that many files.
