Detected files are opened without any content when open from whole directory

[gmmrr]

When the detected file is opened in a nvim-tree, it always shows with empty content. But if I nvim XXX.xml directly, it works as expectation.

I have tried to disable nvim-tree, nvim-tree probably is not the issue.

This is the view of opening single file by nvim XXX.xml (though file in pic below is .osm, it is viewed as xml, and other xml files cannot be opened correctly as well)

and this is the view of opening from directory by nvim . and called by nvim-tree

This is my mininal config, probably same as default.

require("bigfile").setup {
  filesize = 2,

  pattern = { * },

  features = {
    "indent_blankline",
    "illuminate",
    "lsp",
    "treesitter",
    "syntax",
    "matchparen",
    "vimopts",
    "filetype",
  },
}

Tks for viewing, this plug-in is really useful and necessary for a data-sci developer ;)

interesting, I can't reproduce this with my current config with neotree or with lunarvim

Hi! I actually have the exact same problem and can reproduce it with.

• Having nvim-tree installed
• Open nvim in directory with big files
• Try to open file with nvim-tree

I get the same result as OP where I just get empty content. Can confirm, that this doesn't happen without nvim-tree

I can reproduce as well with nvim-tree. If you do :e it reopens as expected, but it's not the best experience
