Thanks for the explanation

To expand on Richard's explanation, "Reputation Point Hunters" and Spammers often target very old questions - probably not realising that adding additional solutions brings that question back into the "Active" list.
You will often see a spate of these around the "big" holidays (Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving etc) - possibly because the fools believe that no-one will be "watching" - they clearly don't understand Programmers

Hi,
Gisle Vanem[^] reported that there are problems downloading article code, Download failures[^] :
Quote: Please provide another download location; GitHub?
Trying to download Harlinn.Windows-2021-12-90.zip in Chrome has now failed 4 times.
Try to restart the D/L seems to restart from the beginning. Buggy "Range" support at
Codepoject's HTTP server?

I've downloaded the file successfully.
However, this file is huge. 137Mb as we don't support 7z and had to convert it to a zip.
If the user has poor or slow internet, this file will be an issue for them.
Could you possibly package up the project into smaller, logical zip files?

The purpose of the solution is to have a general purpose 'runtime' for C and C++ development based on open source for 64-bit Windows development that just works.
Breaking it apart would add significant complexity, and suddenly I would need a package manager to manage the various dependencies.

True, but most developers regularly download archives that are way larger.

Why don't break the zip in parts instead of the project inside?
Time ago you could ask WinZip to make the multiple packages of the size of a 3-1/4 disquette...
This way you would have 13 files of 10 Mb and 1 of 7 Mb... File 1 of 14, 2 of 14 and so on.
Once extracted the project is still in only one solution folder as it should.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I tried to reformat the (500+ lines) code in the question at Receiving JSON through serial COM port in Python[^]. When I pressed update, the entire code block disappeared. I clicked Improve again and found that it had indeed disappeared. Rolling back to the original the text was restored, so I assumed it was my fault. I tried again taking great care to check what I pressed at each point. The same thing happened, so I cancelled the updates and left the question as originally posted.
Is there a limit on how much text can be formatted at one time?

I have no idea about this crazy (indentation sensitive) structured language. But if a paste the code into an online python syntax checker (e.g. Python lint (syntax check) online - InfoHeap[^] or http://pep8online.com/checkresult[^] ) it shows a problem on about line 50.
Anyway pasting 550 lines of code is also not a good idea of OP
[Edit]
I added code tags again and now it shows something valid I think.

You are correct, so I think maybe it was finger trouble on my part.

It looks for fine to me. I don’t see any missing images.

Thanks for your reply, Matthew. I've uploaded images to the article once again.
The images are properly displayed at this time. The issue has been resolved. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm no longer receiving emails from CodeProject.
As far as I can see, the last mail I've received from you, was from 18 November 2021.
Can someone from CodeProject see what is going wrong?
Kind regards,
What I have tried:
I've checked my settings but they seem to be OK.
I've checked my Spam filter but it's empty.

Out of interest, did you get an email response to this?
Are there any recent messages in your notifications? (Little white-on-red number at the top right of the page.)
Have you checked your settings? The "Email" tab controls what can be emailed to you, are they all set?

I see the notification (white-on-red number).
Thanks for that.
A day after posting my message here, I started receiving the mails again. So it seems to be fixed.
Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Here we go again,
I'm no longer receiving emails (newsletters etc.) from codeproject.
The problem is back.
What I have tried (again):
I've checked my settings but they seem to be OK.
I've checked my Spam filter but it's empty.

Hi,
I was about to create an article, and was unable to upload the accompanying source code archive.
The size of the archive file is just shy of 79 MB, and contains the source code for a single Visual Studio 2022 solution with 437 projects.
120 of those projects are open source C and C++ libraries that have been modified to some extent, allowing them to be compiled with the /std:c++latest and /Zc:__cplusplus compiler options.
Among things included are protocol buffers, gRPC, abseil, skia, angle, spirv-tools, spirv-cross, rocksDB, armadillo, SuperLU, Imgui, implot, boringssl, gdal …
Is it possible to change the limit to 100 MB?
Best regards
Espen Harlinn

I would not increase the standard limit, but at least for special cases like this on demand... I would go for it, not sure about how much will the hamsters have to run in the wheel to manage it, though  .
Looking forward to have a look, Espen (if you manage / they allow you to upload all)

No, we can't change the limit, but we can post something this large manually. Please email submit@codeproject.com and Sean will look after you.
Has everything that can be removed, been removed? eg DLLs that can be recompiled, unneeded .obj or debug pdbs etc?
cheers

Ok, I will do that once the text for the article is ready.

We actually allow people to post what they want in their bio. Within reason. I think this is OK.

Ah thank you. I genuinely believed they were getting away with free advertising, but stand corrected.
I will stop reporting Bio's that look like advertising if they are relevant to IT but still report Furniture removers and "build your tik-tok likes" and the like.

Removers is British that always makes me do a double take. West Pond, they're just movers. Removers sounds like the furniture is going to the dump.
