| are used to open large files. You can associate file extension types |
| and file sizes to an editor. Upon opening a file with the given extension, |
| if the file is above the specified size, the associated editor will be used to open the file. |
| When multiple pairs of editor and file size are specified for the extension of the file, the pair with the largest matching file size applies.</p> |
