Thanks for the info. >and we will not switch. That's what I mean by "insistent". >so, you dont think that 60x100mb (plus fc6's other running apps) is more than >your 2gb ram + some swap? What I think is, there is no need to hold all the images in memory simultaneously. Doing so guarantees that documents will not scale up (i e, there will be some documents that are too large). An image only needs to be in memory when you are displaying or printing it, and even for those, only at the resolution needed. So on a 96 dpi monitor showing an image at half size, you don't need anything like 4800 dpi. That would also solve another problem that I mentioned, namely, that it took over 40 min for the document to crash, and then it was only partly open. So if I had infinite memory, it might have taken an hour to open--certainly not acceptable. >Do you even have a printing solution that will print those images are full >resolution? Yes, but you're asking the wrong question. The right one is, how can Scribus be improved to handle situations that users need, or even think they need.
