I did a Find in Files search for the error message in the IDE source
and identified that 1e6 appears to be an arbitrary number set in the
IDE verb:
istextfile_jgtkedit_
3 : 0
s=. 1!:4 :: _1: f=. fboxname y
if. (s>:0) *. s<MaxText do.
if. istextfile1 1!:1 :: (''"_) f do. 1 return. end.
end.
f=. tofoldername_jp_ y
t=. (gettext 'open file')
if. s = _1 do.
mbinfo t;(gettext 'not found: '),f
elseif. s >: 1e6 do.
mbinfo t;(gettext 'file too big '),f,': ',,'c' 8!:2 s
elseif. do.
mbinfo t;(gettext 'content is not text: '),f
end.
0
)
I imagine it was just a case of estimating a sensible max size for a
*.ijs script to prevent users from mistakenly opening very large text
files in the editor. Try increasing the value and seeing if there are
any other issues with loading bigger files.
