<p>Hi Spring</p>
<p>I think that, if I am understanding Emma's workflow correctly, you do not need to recreate the entire project, only the layout part. If I have misunderstood, I would first try loading the same project, then creating a new layout from the template, then reincorporating all the various settings. If this works, it would save a lot of time.</p>

<p>Hello Emma, <br /><br />Thanks very much for your suggestions. <br /><br />Pondering your workflow suggestions, are you suggesting that I create a new project in a new version of QGIS by dragging the old project into a empty project in the new version? Do I have that right? The .qpt file is a print template?<br /><br />It sounds workable but time-consuming. As it is, I'm up half the night just trying to get some of this work done. I may give it a try but am leery of investing more time in "run the Atlas and see if it works." <br /><br />I do appreciate your help and will probably give it a try, all fingers crossed.<br /><br />Thanks again...<br /><br /></p>

<div>Hi Spring</div>
<div>I am sorry you are experiencing this. I would strongly advise you to move up to the latest LTR of QGIS 3.36 when you can. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It sounds like there are some buggy things happening in the background, so maybe you need a clean version. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If this was me, I would follow this workflow. </div>
<ul>
<li>Open up in the original version and create a .qpt from the print layout</li>
<li>Create a new product in the latest LTR</li>
<li>Locate the old project in the Browser window <br />
<ul>
<li>Expand that project and drag the files into the new product.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In the print layout:
<ul>
<li>load the qpt</li>
<li>Copy over the Atlas parameters from your old product (you can have both versions open at the same time)</li>
<li>Run the atlas and see if it works. </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<div>Good luck!</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
<div>Em</div>

It seemed to hang up while dealing with certain files which I <br />then went back to the original 3.16.4 and removed. Then it would hang <br />up on a different file.<br /><br />In a new project, 3.32.3 will load those files but not from the original <br />project. Is 3.32.3 known to have problems? It seemed to install all <br />right from the Windows .MSI installer.<br /><br />Update: the program will actually load those files, it just takes up 10 <br />min. to do so. And then there are huge delays during the work session. <br />The files loaded individually into a new project with no problem.<br /><br />Once I finally got it working, I was able to try printing the Atlas. No <br />change, it just prints one blank page. No error messages, just a fail.<br /><br />Not sure what the answer is, I don't have the time to keep trying new <br />versions when they are mostly a disappointment.<br /><br />Nevertheless, thanks very much for your thoughts...<br /><br />--------<br />Cheers, Spring<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On 2024-03-01 00:22, Nigel Berjak wrote:<br />> Hi Spring<br />><br />> The rasters should not be a problem.
