Importing a csv is memory intensive so another approach is to try saving as a spatial database (SQLite) or even a shapefile. Once written, you can load the spatial file and you should have lots of memory to keep selecting points. <br><br><span style='color:windowtext'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>Kirk<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 1/9/2018 4:58 PM, Ramon Andinach wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>I’m not sure what the problem is, but if I were doing that repeatedly, I’d probably use Layer -> Save As, tick the Save Only Selected Features box and save it to CSV.

I just need selections of this database which I can then modify in excel. So I opened the attribute table and made a selection based on a specific value for an attribute, and copied that selection (about 30.000 objects) via the clipboard (ctrl-c) to a new Microsoft Excel file, then saved the excel file and repeated the process for another selection. This worked perfect for some time. However, some selections won’t copy: when I press the copy button the programs turn to ‘not responding’ and won’t snap out of it anymore. Selection size when this happens is about the same (about 20k to 35k objects).</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>What could be the problem?
