It couldn't even open a 1.2 GB text file when I tried it yesterday. On a 32GB system. Seriously?

It's been a while since I last used it, but I thought it could handle files that big. At least on systems with 2GB ram or so, it would open files of hundreds of megabytes just fine. Not sure I ever tried anything over a gigabyte, but I might have.
