[Qgis-user] Loading issues with project file in QGIS 2.4 (64 bit)

[Johanna Botman]

Thanks for the quick response Nathan,

I'm not sure if you are familiar with Dial Before You Dig. When a request
is made for information about the underground assets in a particular area,
our council is one of the organisations that are asked to respond. That
request is emailed to us and contains a .gml file with the specified
location details.

In order to speed up the processing at our end, I set up a project file
that accepts this gml file, we zoom to the layer, align that with the
canvas and produce the pdf file that goes back to the initial requestor.

It worked fine for at least the last year. The layers in the project file
are not large. The largest is 13Mb, the smallest is a few kilobytes. There
are 17 layers in the project. I have had a request to put aerial imagery
under the maps, but have resisted that because of the size of the images.

What else do you need to know?

Good thing your IT is wrong then hey :P

I also suspect network if the files are large it will pull the whole thing
over the network before it can open it. GML also isn't the most efficient
format in the world so take that into consideration.

What other layers are in the project?  If you have lots of network layers
it will try and read them when you load the new layer in order to refresh
the map, remember each pan is going to read the files to get the data.

We will need a bit more info on the project and files to help more.
