    I know there are several threads about this, but I must have not dug deep enough to find the answer.  I use Notepad ++ almost exclusively, however, it crashes quite hard when I try to open very large files.  We receive files from our mainframe that span anywhere from 1kb-14gb.  Notepad ++ has some great functionality that we utilize on these smaller files, however, upon trying to open larger files, we get a hard crash.  V or UltraEdit open these files up with no problem, however, it lacks the functionality I desire (or that I'm used to being readily available) in NotePad ++.  Any answers, solutions, patches?

      I did dig a bit deeper and found the "fix" or at least one possible fix by altering the code.  Sorry for the additional post that will now show up on searches.  If I could delete the originating post I would.

        Well, how much of a fix is your "fix"? Perhaps the dev and other users might also be helped by it.

          I believe an user suggested to disable the undo system before opening a file, it seems right now whilst opening the undo buffer is filled aswell, requiring more memory during opening.
