64-bit version of Studio

Please create a 64-bit version of Studio. At present only a 32-bit version is available, and therefore it can theoretically only access 2-3GB of system memory, meaning that upgrading your machine with more memory then this does not have any beneficial impact on Studio performance.

When handling large files & projects, allowing Studio access to all of your system's memory would make a huge difference in time and performance, and for this the app needs to be 64-bit.

Are there any plans to release a 64-bit version in future?

    Companies usually tend to take advantage of new technologies rather than sticking to old systems… The least SDL could do is propose both options like other software companies do.

    I assume it is more tempting to release "new" paid features than actually improving the software, or even fixing basic problems that have been present for ages. Studio is by far the slowest program of all programs I use, yet it clearly isn't the most powerful/intensive one. Besides, not a single program on my computers produces as many crashes as Studio.

    It seems proposing a new, 64-bit version just isn't profitable enough…
