ok, then can we close the ticket? What about also adding a warning when
a user on win tries to print a large format?

Agreed, it is reasonable to add a warning for win32 (though I need to make a few experiments to figure out the pixel limit that works).

Hi Marco,

I've just tried to print to A0 with QGIS 1.6 on win7 (64bit, but QGIS
compiled on WoW 32 bit) and got the crash. For me, it looks like a
memory problem, not like a regression.
-QGIS on win7 compiled with msvc 64 bit: printing to A0 works
-Linux 64bit: printing to A0 works (I remember it worked on 32bit Linux
too, probably because gcc is able to use more memory than msvc 32bit).
- No problem on Mac 64bit
right, this is what it is reported in the tickets. The problem surfaces
only on win32. I also made a few tests months ago (see the ticket) but
for me as for other users qgis 1.6 seemed to work fine (but maybe it was
a matter of the size/weight of the project).


So the resolution is to use a 64bit compiled executable on Windows.
Since at Sourcepole, we need to have a 64bit win version ready for our
clients, we will also provide a public download for 1.8.
ok, then can we close the ticket? What about also adding a warning when
a user on win tries to print a large format?


cheers
