Better Copy/Paste Support

[thisiskennie]

I've noticed that when copy/pasting large amounts of text it tends to make publii crash.

I would like to see better support because this gets really frustrating when working with large amounts of text.

At first, I honestly thought things were crashing due to it maxing out the ram, when I first started I had 12GB
I doubled it and then some and gave myself 32GB and still having the problem of Publii crashing when pasting in a large amount of text.

I don't understand why this would be happening, especially for a bit of software that is boasting it's compatibility to create CMS websites, when it can't handle a large amount of the "C" (Content). I hope this gets fixed.

Perhaps I am pushing the likes of publii past it's limits, perhaps publii does have more restrictions than we are aware of.

Just for feedback. I'm not sure what to suggest as I've not experienced this problem yet. Just a wild guess: are you using Publii under Microsoft Windows? If that's a yes, the reason I ask is if at the same time as you're using Publii, you have several other programs also running in the background, perhaps it's possible that your PC might be struggling a bit. If that's the case, try shutting down all unnecessary programs while you're doing lots of copy and pasting.

As a wild guess, maybe the core problem is more to do with the limits of the Clipboard (temporary memory area) of the device + operating system that you're using rather than Publii itself. In the past, when I used PCs more, I too had similar problems with a well known graphics suite. It turned out that to resolve my problem then, I needed more RAM plus a stronger / faster device -- which was a bit frustrating at the time.

Hope this helps.

It has nothing to do with my computer, but thanks for the suggestion.
I've copied/pasted lots of text into many other programs with zero problems.

I've since ditched Publii and gone on to something else that actually works.
