I didn’t think in the 15 minutes between 's first post to the previous thread and your first reply about “None of them works in 2022” there was sufficient time to read, explore and test any or all of the solutions offered. I apologize for sounding harsh in my previous comments.

NppQCP will potentially be fixed and when that’s done I’ll merge the changes into my QuickColorPicker which doesn’t exhibit the 8.2.2 crash behavior now, but may not be capable of dealing with >2Gb files (I’ve only tested on Notepad++ theme files and simple XML docs that have the various color representation schemes the plugin looks for). I don’t think any of the solutions mentioned in the referenced thread “crash” 8.2.1 or lower Notepad++, they only affect Notepad 8.2.2 (upcoming) thus the scramble to “fix” them.

I thought that’s what this was all about?

Assuming you mean 8.2.2 - it’s in release candidate testing with a “breaking change” (for many plugins) that will allow >2Gb file editing.
