Large MB .txt files . . . . contents not displayed.

Report · Sep 19, 2020

Dreamweaver V20.2 build 15263.

When opening Large MB .txt files (e.g. 18 MB) . . . . contents are not displayed. The display area is gray, then white screen. Sometimes I can see the beach ball.

All small file size .txt files open and display contents properly.

Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

18 MB text file is really huge.

To put this in context, I have an entire SQL database with 1,000+ products and descriptions that weighs less than 800 KB. The largest scripts + minified Bootstrap files only weigh 200 KB. There's no reason for a text file to be more than that. Why are your text files so big?

Nancy, appreciate your feedback. It’s a database text file. I understand that Dreamweaver isn’t designed for these large files, but as the file sizes grew I was hoping to continue using DW. Previous DW versions didn’t cause any file size display issues. i.e. the file contents opened. Life goes on. Thanks again, Ron
