[Qgis-user] qgis browser hangs while opening big shapefile

[Reginald Carlier]

Hi,

I downloaded the latest shapefile of OSM for Belgium.
When I open QGIS browser and point to the buildings.shp (size : 325959kB) the application hangs, so I can't change the CRM.
I also tried clipping the buildings.shp with a polygon shape of a town but that resulted in the same unresponsive behavior.
I'm using QGIS 2.16.1.

Regards,
