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

Hi Tyler,

The shape can be downloaded from this link:
http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/belgium.html
I used Belgium-latest.shp

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.
