I've got a big .sql dump of 400MB in my project.
Opening it crashes Brackets immediately, which seems to be not only a flaw in error handling, but a usability problem too (aside of obviously loosing unsaved changes). One can learn not to open large files, but due to Brackets' behaviour, the same thing happens when I want to delete it - right clicking files in the sidebar opens up the file.

imo this would be solved if

• left clicking large files would open a prompt window, alerting users, that this could take a while, and if choosing yes, opening files in a plain text mode, w/o codemirror plugin (hopefully that would allow to edit medium sized files)
• large files wouldn't open on right click, only the popup should appear
