Wish List - Open Many Files Warning Dialog Box

Dreamweaver should have a warning box pop up if the user tries to open a large number of files at once. Some programs (including Microsoft Outlook and Google Chrome) do this. It gives the user a chance to cancel the operation if it was a mistake, or continue if it was not. 

 

I just now did a search and replace on 484 HTML pages, then later hit the Enter key, forgetting that all those files were the current selection. There was no way to stop the files from opening until Dreamweaver ran out of memory and crashed.

Did you hit the ESCAPE key?

Many times. I also clicked the Cancel button repeatedly until it grayed out and was no longer available.
