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

[Johanna Botman]

One of my users is having *fun and games* with a project file which hangs
and is unresponsive.

This project is one where the user drags and drops a .gml file onto the
canvas to produce a map of a specific area.  I don't want to update her to
a later version because 2.4 is the last version to automatically update the
gml file to the legend. The Auto Update function in later versions updates
all the layers and that is one step too far for this user.

When my user opens the file, according to IT, it sits for a while
allocating memory and then finally opens the layers that are needed. But
once the map has been produced, the original gml file removed and another
added for the second map, QGIS becomes Not Responding.  I blame the
network, but IT tell me it is the nature of open source software.

Does anyone else have similar experiences or suggestions?
