[Eeglablist] Large data file appears empty

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

File size should not cause an issue like this; some of my own experiments
have bigger Brain Vision files than this and I haven't had this problem.
Can you share some more information? Specifically, how you are importing
the file (what function, or what button in the GUI, you are using), and
what about the file makes it look like there's no data? You could also
consider uploading the file to Bugzilla.

My first guess is, the larger file will take longer to import, so maybe
you're just looking before the import has complete? If you're using the
GUI, the import isn't done (even though the ">>" prompt will appear in the
command window) until a few windows pop up asking for you to, e.g., name
the dataset and stuff like that; until that happens, the EEGLAB window will
look like there's no data loaded.

Best,
Steve
