[TxMt] Feature Request: Show ("the good old") Warning if one tries to open big files

Hi,

often I’m dealing with very large text files (~ 1GB) which are listed in my working folder. It can happen by accident that I click at such a big file and TM2 will become unresponsive for a while. 

Would it be possible to at least add an alert or warning - which can cancel the opening process - if TM should open a big file (let’s say larger than 150MB - since TM2 works better with larger files than TM1.5)? Another idea would be to allow the cancellation of such a opening process by pressing CMD+W or whatever.


In addition to that:
I had opened some files and by accident I opened such a 1.4GB file. Ok, I killed TM2, and I reopen it while pressing SHIFT to avoid restoring the opened files. Fine, but then if I choose to open my working folder again, TM2 remembers all opened files (which is really cool) but it tries again to load this big file. My only workflow I’m aware of was to rename that big file temporarily after killing TM2.

Kind regards,
Hans
