Add settings that allows configuring syntax coloring etc. by filetype and if no filetype then this stuff turned off by default so the unknown filetype loads as fast as possible. Hey have a setting for that too.
I view lots of large files and if just viewing them, I’d like to see something as soon as I can, and then perhaps exit out of that file before it is even fully loaded. Async coding…
This would greatly improve large file support.
maybe a Preferences setting like:
// Sets the max file size ( in megabytes ) for which syntax will be automatically applied.
"syntax_max_file_size": 50,
Maybe it will already help you to tell Sublime to open these files as ‘Plain Text’ files. It will still do spell checks and index it for auto-complete of course, but it won’t do any syntax highlighting.
Thx. Ideally could turn all that kind of stuff for a log file I just want to view or search.
