<![CDATA[Find in files: File is too big to be opened...]]>Dear all,
I need to search multiple sets of logfiles for given word(s). Log file size is 30KB to 204.801 KB, about 30 files each set and they are all located in the same folder. I’m using find in files, filter is *.* . notepad++ gives me an “Exception:File size problem File is to big to be opened by notepad++” for files of size 204.801 KB. It does not for files of size 162.238KB.
However, I can open all files in notepad++ incl. those of size 204.801KB. I assume it search related.
Exception occurs if large file restrictions are disabled or enabled (400MB) in Preference->Performance
