Geany is designed for editing human files, not machine minimised files. Many things happen per line, and its more than proportional to the line size.
You should be able to open the file fairly quickly if you open it as filetype `none` and wrapping off, but otherwise it will be slow, especially with very long lines because the code is optimised for short lines. The problem with warning about lines too long is, what is too long? The answer is likely to be different for a Raspberry Pi and an i9 9900k workstation. Also it would require scanning the file to determine line length further slowing _all_ file loads. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
