[Qgis-user] Is there a limit of loaded files in QGis 1.8 ?

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Lorenzo,

 One thing that is worth a try is to use VRT files. See 
 http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_vrt.html

 With a vrt file you can combine several files that have the same table 
 structure to one virtual file.

 Maybe it is worth a try? I don't know if the same OS limitations apply 
 then or not.

 The other option, as others have noted - is to use a database instead - 
 which also opens other possibilities besides QGIS.

 Hope this helps,
 Andreas
