Description of the Issue

Hi,

I just had a case, where I could't open a file with the error message "File too large". But the file itself only had around 90MB, which is below the treshold. I then closed all other still open files and then could open the 90MB file. That is kind of confusing, since this error message says it was only the single file causing the issue, and not the sum of all the files...

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open files in a sum < current file size limit
  2. Open a file exceeding the sum of files being > current file size limit
  3. Get error message that individual file is too large.

Expected Behavior

Error message should indicate that it is about the sum of files and not an individual one.

Actual Behavior

error message that individual file is too large.
