Is a 5 MB limit for uploads a good idea? #11

Closed joolin1 closed 1 year ago

joolin1 commented 1 year ago

I have made a console application for Windows in .NET for converting images to the format VERA uses. It is 20 MB which I can compress to 9 MB. Still it is to big to be uploaded to the Downloads forum. If cross developing tools should be allowed in the forum, I think larger files must be allowed.

Thanks for letting us know. Yes, I left the limit rather small (it was something like 500KB by default) since we were expecting people to usually upload programs for the Commander itself. But we are seeing some emulation and cross-dev products, so I'll up the limit to something big enough for your needs.

Generally speaking, I suggest people link to a GitHub page or something similar for PC programs, especially if it's open source. However, that may not always be convenient, especially for closed-source programs.

I'll up the limit to 50MB for now, and we'll see how things go.
