Feature Description

External renderers might only render parts of a file, in which case another maximum file size than the global MAX_DISPLAY_FILE_SIZE could be desired.

As an example, I store some NetCDF files in a git(-annex) repository. I have added an external renderer for these .nc files that simply dumps the header of the file in html pre tags using ncdump -h. This is a cheap operation even for file sizes of multiple gigabytes. Therefore I would like this renderer to run for all NetCDF files, but keep the default 8MiB for anything else.

I am not sure if this should be an option on the external renderer or if there might be a use case for changing the maximum file size per filetype, so that it is possible to change the allowed size even for filetypes not handled by an external renderer or specify different maximum sizes for filetypes which are handled by the same renderer.

Ran into this same issue where a 11MB KiCad PCB file would render as significantly smaller SVGs.
