Description David Konecny 2003-02-21 10:07:50 UTC 
If user is opening extremely large document (>a
few MBs) the IDE should warn them that operation
can cause OutOfMemory. If possible some
calculation of the filesize and estimated memory
requirement compared with available memory should
be done.

Some suggestions from Performance team are appreciated.
Comment 2 David Konecny 2003-02-27 16:58:55 UTC 
The problem I just realized is that if the large file is opened
programatically then the user cannot be warned. These two cases must
be somehow distinguished. The example is java parser which opens
document on the background and parses it. If the file is large it
might cause problems.

The check for the user would be best done in the Open action.

It's already implemented, the dialog rises when user tries to open large file (>1MB)
