Freezing on large folder

#1

I have a very large media folder (100+GB) for my Magento based site. Opening my project folder immediately freezes Sublime 3 (Build 3143 and earlier). I’m running on Ubuntu 15.10. I have added the following to my Preferences file:

    "hot_exit": false,
"remember_open_files": false,
"index_files": false,
"index_exclude_patterns": ["www/source/media/*", "node_moduels/*", "vendor/*"],

The status bar indicates “Adding folder ~/my/project…”

As long as I don’t add my project folder everything works. But I do need to work on this project, and removing the media folder would be counter-productive to the work on hand.

I have reviewed other similar issues, but don’t see a clear solution.

How long does it take to complete? Are the files on some sort of remote/network drive?

Sublime Text keeps a catalog of every file in your project. That is what powers Goto Anything. Generally it should work fine for huge folders since it recursively lists every folder and file in an async manner. You’ll see a folder with a spinning icon – that indicates Sublime Text is still listing all of the files.
