[Qgis-user] Disable map update in Layout Editor?

[Tobias Schula]

Hi all,

is it possible to disable the updating of maps in the layout editor, once I 
have set scale and extend? I'm printing 15 different views on one A2 page. 
Every change I'm making is glacially slow, because even just moving an item or 
changing the zoom level will trigger a complete refresh of all maps at once! 
Just changing the margin of the page took me almost 1 hour. It didn't help 
that QGIS crashed once, because it ran out of RAM.

Best regards
