[Qgis-user] Unable to load project

[Phil Wyatt]

When you say “loads many layers”…how many are we talking about – 20, 50, 250? Shape files, WMS, Raster, Vector? Unknown Exception I suspect is hard to diagnose, especially now on QGIS 2.10 and Windows 7 which are both pretty old.

hello Phil,

I did open the project file in Word, 2033 pages, and found 13 instances referring to the dxf file. Hard to say if anything was wrong there, nothing obvious. At least to me. Some other research I did indicates that maybe there is an authentication problem, not sure just what that boils down to.

I don't think the dxf file is the problem. I renamed it and bypassed it on the startup routine which the program accepted but it still seized up with a spinning cursor. Some things still function, such as modifying the properties of a layer , Etc. But the screen is blank and nothing can be saved.

For some time I have noticed that loading a project file bogs down for a while and then would resume to completion. Now it bogs down and blows up. The key message seems to be unknown exception.

Some older project files do load successfully however...

Cheers . . . . .   Spring

Can you open a copy of the previous project file in something like notepad and see if anything obvious can be fixed and or removed in relation to the DXF layer?

Hello All,

Bad News.  I am unable to load a project that normally works with no problems:

1.	QGIS 2.10.1, Windows 7.
2.	Project starts to load, loads many layers . . .
3.	halts loading "point Entity", a DXF file
4.	the DXF file was renamed to trigger the Handle Bad Layers service
5.	this was bypassed but project loading still fails to complete, cursor spinner on constantly
6.	exiting with Save triggers "Unknown Exception"
7.	the project file is trashed to 0kb
8.	Exiting without Save is OK but no project can be loaded
9.	Restoring previous project file versions yields the same results
10.	Loading some other projects works but may have cursor spinner

Any ideas what is going on here?  I have rebooted the computer.

Thanks very much . . . .

 

Cheers . . . . . Springfield Harrison
