Hello,
are there known bugs loading very large shape files suc as
http://www.salzburg.gv.at/sagisdaten_download/SAGIS%20Daten/isolinien20mALS.zip
(2GB unzipped)?
I may not talk about whether or not it is a goog idea to produce such files. But I can load it (contour lines) in QGIS 1.8.0 but not in GM 14.2 64 bit.
Regards
Henry

Henry,
Do you know what software was used to create this file? I have found several things wrong in it due to the size being over 2GB. I'm surprised that QGIS can load it, unless perhaps it is just ignoring anything beyond the bad parts rather than dying altogether like Global Mapper.
Thanks,

Mike,
thanks for investigation. Unfortunately I cannot say what software was used to create this file. It sounds like GM is ok and I have to load and export using another software as an intermediate step - what SW ever.
Regards
Henry
