This can be useful when working with big files that take a lot of time to read-in annotations, events or triggers. (Due to the nature of the EDF-format, the annotations-channel(s) needs to be read from the beginning till the end of the file.) In the "Settings -> other" dialog you can adjust the filesize which above EDFbrowser will not scan the file for annotations. (between 100 MB and 10 GB) - extended the capabilities of the header-editor.

EDFbrowser could only write one annotation per datarecord. From now on, if there are more annotations than datarecords, the size (smpls/record) of the annotationchannel will increase automatically in order to fit multiple annotations as needed. version 1.36 June 16, 2011 ------------ - Solved a bug when importing events/annotations from an ascii-file. version 1.35 June 16, 2011 ------------ - Changed the selectionbehaviour of the signallist in Signals -> Organize.
