You have reached the size limit of the changes file

sergio_101-2
i have just gotten the following error:

error: 'You have reached the size limit of the changes file. You must
take action now to reduce it. Close this error. Do not attempt to
proceed.'.

what i was trying to do was add a file to a file library..

the size of the file is: 3.4meg

my changes file is: 58.5meg

any ideas?

thanks!

Hi Sergio -

What version of Squeak are you using? In Squeak 3.10 and 4.0 there is a
32MB limit to the changes file which has been removed in 4.1 (in 4.1 the
changes file should be unlimited).

Cheers,

It's not a stupid question. Generally there is an "about this system" in
the desktop's help menu which will tell you what version you're running.
It might be a bit hard to find (which is why we've promoted it in 4.1).

Ah, you're running Pharo. I'm not an expert on Pharo but I believe that
Pharo 1.0 still has the 32MB changes file limit. That means you'll have
to run "Smalltalk condenseChanges" to reduce the size of the changes
file. You'll want to make a backup copy of your image+changes before you
try that though, there have been some issues with that operation in the
past and I can't vouch for how well that'll work in Pharo. If it doesn't
you'll have to start with a "fresh" image and changes file.

Cheers,

Not to a certain date, no. You need to run "Smalltalk condenseChanges".
