[Feature Request] Add a Max Columns Compile Time Option #812

Closed jeffgazso closed 1 year ago

jeffgazso commented 1 year ago

Can a -DMAXCOLUMNS compile time option be added to complement the max rows option? Right now sc-im is capped at 702 columns per the README. Nearly all modern spreadsheets support at least 1024 columns and most support 16384 columns, either by default or as a configuration option. Adding a max columns option good for at least 16384 columns would bring sc-im to feature parity for large file support.

By the way, I know multiple sheet support was added in v0.8.3. Is the maximum number of sheets hard capped or is it simply limited by available memory?

Hello. Do you really use that many columns? You can redefine #define ABSMAXCOLS 702 macro in sc.h if you need more. The number of sheets is limited by memory, yes.
