The problem with this how does Geany know? Its a similar situation to the "should warn of big files" problem that has been raised before. What is "big" for my 4GB core 2 spinny disk laptop is a snip for someone elses 32GB 3.5Ghz i7 SSD workstation. And "analysing" the file before/during loading is only going to slow down loading more for everybody. >From my personal viewpoint, Geany is a tool for developers, and as such the >target users should be assumed to have a reasonable understanding that some >operations not in the common use-case (enormous lines or massive log files for >eg) are not optimised for, and so may be lower performance (from experience if >not by prior consideration :-). -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
