Prevent Sublime from indexing massive folders

#1

I occasionally run into a problem where I open a folder with sublime that contains a “data” folder of some kind containing for example 300k files which caps my CPU for quite some time. I currently solve it by adding those folders to folder_exclude_patterns but this is not ideal. I would prefer a way to exclude folders from being indexed beyond a certain file count to avoid accidentally burning my legs.
