A comment on Tad, a tabular data viewer.

Just noticed the installer changes the file association for CSV's so they all open with Tad, without asking me first. Please do not do this.

Otherwise, nice app. How does it scale to larger CSV files? I have been working on something similar (https://warp.one) for Mac, which streams CSV files (apparently you use a SQLite database behind the scenes as cache?)

Upvote for "don't change default file handler without asking".

Really sorry about this! I do specify Tad as a handler for CSV files, but becoming the default handler was not my intent at all; I will look into what's causing this.
