    Opening a 2 gig text file causes an error (2.07 GB (2,223,792,128 bytes)). Did not try with other file sizes of a large nature. WinXP. npp.4.1.2.

      The problem was mentioned several times. But yes I don´t understand why donho don´t answers or add a error message if you try to open a file larger then ~80mb.
      Also Notepad++ gets very slow on open files with several mbs thats very poor because that makes the hex plugin nearly unusable for executable files. It would be nice if there were tries to find a solution on this target. Stopping to load the full file into the memory would be the best - but I think a very complex fix

        80 millibytes? And Notepad++ crashes on this? I guess this is due to very low internal memory. What you got, 4 millibytes?

        It's easy to complain.

        I suggest, once you know you can't load big files into N++, you stop doing that.

          Haha I laughed out loud *ironic*. There is a big different between a funny or good ironic post and something which is only lame...
          Everyone understand what I mean. You can be sure on this.

          Many people are so (too) sensitive on any critic of open source software. I have respect of anyone who uses his time to develope software which is helping others.

        I answered over and over again the same question.
        Why don't you search the forum/trackers before post your question?

          No need to cry.
          I am not following the forum since the beginning and I saw the question many times. never answered by you and I also never saw a post redirected to something from you. I will see what I can find ;)

          It´s easy to complain but it´s also easy to throw a sentence like this ;). There weren´t really complains by me. You have a very nice program which is very stable. You also look that no plugins have any known bug. But you did nothing to at least warn the user that it won´t work what he is trying to do. Thats what I don´t got and wanted to ask. Don´t feel attackted.
          Yes maybe I could do it myselv. But everyone has his own projects and this isn´t a short addition someone could write a class/module for. Thats something you have to know where the targets are and have to change many things. If you feel fine with it and have other priorities then it´s ok, write a sticked FAQ or known issues post and someone like me won´t write again (yes I know there are individuals availible which are stupider then me :-D)

      I've also seen, doing a massive search through too many folders will crash NPP also.

      The app hangs when I try to open 100MB files also.
