Notepad++ v8.2.2 Release Candidate 4

[donho]

Sorry for making you test again due to my errors.
Here’s Notepad++ v8.2.2 Release Candidate 4 (it’s the last one, hopefully):
http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/8.x/8.2.2.RC4/

Notepad++ v8.2.2 RC4 fixed 2 logic errors (bad copy-paste) from Notepad++ v8.2.2 RC3. Here are the whole regression-fixed & enhancement histories:

1. Fix 2 logic errors.
2. Fix crash on opening file with wild card characters. (Fix #11098)
3. Fix crash regression in UDL dialog. (Fix #11101)
4. Improve 200MB+ files loading/editing performance. (ref: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/commit/774321e0997e9561482124cd66007cee3c224758)
5. Fix unsaved untitled files not being opened on the next session regression (Fix 11080)

The loading of large files (200MB) disables automatically the following feature:

1. Syntax highlighting (large files are loaded as normal files, users can apply the proper syntax highlighting manually)
2. auto-completion (only for large files)
3. snapshot period backup (only for large files)
4. backup on save (only for large files)
5. word wrap (persistent for all files. Need to re-enable it manually)

Due to the editing/browsing large files performance issue, the following feature are disabled for the large files (200MB) :

1. braces match highlighting
2. smart highlighting
3. XML/HTML tags match highlighting
4. clickable link generation

Thank you very much for your help!

YES :-D and the load time has been further improved.
Now my test file loads and saves 2.2GB in ~8 seconds on a Windows 7 x64, i5-2500 with 16GB DDR3 and SSD drive.

Using a lexer in such a case is … let’s say questionable, but users do what they do :-)

I checked all plugins for crashes when starting Notepad++. The problem is only with DSpellCheck_1.4.22 in 64bit Notepad++, but it has already been reported:
