Configure file size limits
For performance and memory consumption reasons, JetBrains Rider sets the following file size limits:
The maximum size for files that JetBrains Rider is able to open, is controlled by the
idea.max.content.load.filesize
IDE property. The default value is20000
kilobytes.The maximum size for files where JetBrains Rider enables coding assistance and design-time code inspection, is controlled by the
idea.max.intellisense.filesize
property. The default value is2500
kilobytes.
Do one of the following:
Select Help | Edit Custom Properties from the main menu.
On the Welcome screen, click Configure and then select Edit Custom Properties.
If you cannot start JetBrains Rider, you can manually create an empty idea.properties file in the JetBrains Rider configuration directory.
In the custom idea.properties file that opens in a new editor tab, specify the desired values in kilobytes, for example:
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=3500
The properties you add to this file override the corresponding default properties.
JetBrains Rider additionally limits the size of files where design-time inspection is enabled by default to 300
kilobytes. For larger files, the inspection is disabled to make sure such files load without delays. You can recognize files where code inspection is disabled by the indicator in the top right corner of the editor.
You can press CtrlAltShift08 to enable inspection in the file as long as its size doesn't exceed the limit specified by the idea.max.intellisense.filesize
property. JetBrains Rider will remember your choice and will not disable design-time inspection next time you open that file.
