Hi,

i am using a directory with "ShowIndex" for hosting some DVD-Images. Unfortunately the Images don't show up. Smaller files are shown but the large ones not. the images are approximately 4GB in size.

Did I miss some configuration or ist this some kind of bug?

Regards,
Benjamin

I tested myself on my MacBook Pro. Hiawatha show a file of almost 6GB in the directory index without any problem. Could it be a access rights issue?

The Limit seems to be 2GB file size.
The OS is Slackware 32 bit, not 64 bit. On a 64bit installation everything works fine.

Still no solution. There ist nothing in the logs, it seems as Hiawatha just does not see Files larger than 2GB. I will setup a test machine wirth 32Bit and try to reproduce the bug.

It's not that Hiawatha doesn't see them. Hiawatha doesn't filter anything. It's probably your OS. A 32-bit OS has 32 bit integers. 2^32 = 4294967296. For a signed integer, this will be -2147483648 to 2147483647. 2147483647 is your 2GB.
