Category Limit?

I remember a while ago the 40K files was getting close to the limit available with categories. Just what is this limit, and does it still exist in 3.2?

I'm 99% sure that the category limit is a thing of past with V3.2. It was tied to the use of tabs for the categories in the options panel, and tabs are no longer used. Colen will need to confirm this detail, though, since he'll know for certain on this.

There's still a limit of 64 on the number of categories you can have, because AB uses a 64-bit integer to track (for example) which option categories are shown and hidden for a unit.

I just did a quick check, and the 40k files are using 32 categories right now, which means you should still have room for another 32.
