Tiny File Dialog not returning file(s) paths for files larger than 2GB

See original GitHub issue

Environment

LWJGL version: 3.2.3
LWJGL build #: 13
Java version: AdoptOpenJDK build 1.8.0_282-b08
Platform: Windows
Module: tinyfd

Description

The tinyfd_openFileDialog returns null upon file selection (both single and multiple) if the selected file(s) size is larger than 2GB. In case of multi-file selection only the files smaller than ~2GB will be included in the results. Can anyone else confirm if this is happening? I’m running Windows 10 64bit 20H2 fully patched.

I contacted Guillaume Vareille, the author of tinyfd, and he was able to deploy a fix (which I tested and is working) in the latest version (3.8.7), I’ll be waiting for LWJGL 3.2.4, luckily I’m not in a rush to have support for very large files right now.

I’m not sure how much the APIs have changed since the version currently in the master branch, but he told me he hasn’t changed the APIs in a long time.

Yes, the latest version still uses fopen.

Btw, you could try switching to Native File Dialog, its file open dialog doesn’t have this issue.
