Maximum number of windows can be opened in one notepad++
-
Hi
I want to open files as many as possible. (about 3000)
In one notepad++ program, how many different files can be opened with different windows?Does it have limit?
If it has limit, does it related with number of files or sizes?
Is it possible to open 3000 files?
Thank you. -
I guess the memory per process is the limit.
But I can’t see how opening 3000 files is useful anyway.Cheers

@Claudia-Frank it’s usefull when you open log files from some test system. Often they are creating log files in TXT files so once you’d like to analyse some one step, you just search marked part of the line (testing step) and press Ctrl+F and then “search in all opened documents” ;-)

You are replying to a thread that’s 7 years old. Claudia hasn’t been here in years (unfortunately so: she was one of the most-helpful users that I’ve ever seen on this site, and her input has been missed since she left).
If you want to search 3000 files, you don’t have to open them all and “Find All in All Opened Documents”. The “Find in Files” feature will work much better for that: it will search a directory (recursively, if you want), and list all the files that have matches, without having to have them all actually open in Notepad++ at the same time. That seems like the ideal solution. (I don’t remember whether Find in Files existed in 2016 or not.)
