Patch Maker 1.3 "Not enough disk space" error on very large drive partitions

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    I've been trying out Patch Maker 1.3, and I think it's a great little program. Probably the best of its kind! :)

    But, there seems to be an issue with it. If you attempt to patch files on a drive partition that has free disk space in the terabyte range, the patcher fails with a "Not enough disk space" error. Patch Maker doesn't seem to handle free disk space calculations correctly in that situation.

    Also, I was wondering if a feature could be added? It would be nice to have an option where you can lock/disable the controls that allow users to change the directory that the patcher wants to use. I've created a patcher that reads the registry for the install path of an application, to find out what directory to patch. I'd like to prevent anyone from changing the directory, so the patch doesn't fail because the user either accidentally or deliberately changes it.

    Some additional information: The drive was formatted with a GPT partition of 4 TB, and had 2.7 TB of free space. Temporarily lowering the amount of space to less than 1 TB allowed the patcher to work correctly. With 2.7 TB of free space, the patcher would show the "Not enough disk space" error.

    Any update on the free disk space error, with partitions that have more than a terabyte free space? Also, any chance of the lock/disable controls suggestion I made, being implemented?

    Sorry for the delay, a bit busy and I had to remove some dust from this code. :p The limit was actually 2 Tb of free space. Here is a Please login to see this link. that should solve this issue, there is also a "read-only" option in the Options tab.

    Haha, yes I can imagine. :) The program is quite old now. But, in my search for a patching program, I couldn't find one better than Patch Maker.

    Okay, wasn't sure about that. I figured it might be 2 TB, due to the old partition limit in Windows.

    Thank you! I'm glad you're still supporting Patch Maker. I hope these improvements benefit other users, as well.
