TranscriptStream characterLimit?

Hello

The TranscriptStream characterLimit was set by Dan Ingalls 20 years
ago to 20'000 characters.

characterLimit
"Tell the views how much to retain on screen"
^ 20000

Could this be set to a higher value or made a preference which can
easily be found?

Regards
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

it has been a preference since Nov 2017, instroduced by Eliot. See:

TranscripStream class >> characterLimit:

TranscripStream class >> characterLimit

Hello Marcel

Thank you for the info, this is helpful.
I encountered the issue while updating a Squeak 6.0a-17330 image ....

The reason is to preserve the full record of the update history in
the Transcript.
The image I am working with still has original characterLimit.

Regards
Hannes

Ah, okay. Sure, you can change this method as you need for the update process. Should work.

Best,

Marcel

In reply to this post by Hannes Hirzel

There is also a preference for "Redirect transcript to stdout" that
can be useful for keeping a record of the updates.
