When opening an file that takes a long time to load (because it is very large or is over a network connection), TextPad remains unavailable until the file has loaded. Realizing how large the file must be, I will sometimes change my mind about loading it.
TextPad needs an option to cancel the opening of a file while it is being opened.
Cancel opening of large files

I'm not sure whether this is possible given the I/O architecture of windows. Aside from killing the process, I think the buffering process for reading a file from disk isn't interruptible. I could easily be wrong, but I understand the reason for your suggestion. I've occasionally slipped and opened up 600MB database files in textpad before. Whoops! Coffee break time =)
