In the mean time, the renamed 'autosave' file has eventually opened (I was having lunch, and when I came, it was here!). It that has been saved 10mns earlier than the real one so, hopefully, I will have not have lost too much.
I'll just comment your propositions, in case it can help someone else. > > three possible ways (always work with backed up files): > > a/ try to open the same document on a computer with (much) more ram. > I have 4 Go RAM, and no other computer nearby. > > b/ if the pictures are big, replace them with their thumbnails (copy the > current pictures to another place, create the thumbnails in another folder > but with the same name as the original picture, put the thumbnails where the > pictures were. > > Yes, the pictures files are quite big, as they come from my 12 Mpx camera, and I didn't resize them because I want to keep the best definition for the printing book. It's too an early stage to know which picture will have to remain big, so it can be printed double-page, and wich will share a page with several others. Do you think resizing perhaps half of them could improve Scribus response time? > c/ if the pictures are not all on the same page: rename the folder where > the picture are (i hope you have put them in a folder...), open the .sla > with scribus (scribus should not find them and be more), delete some pages > (and get sane chunks), save as. > Yes, there all are in a dedicated folder. None of them are on a real page, yet. They are scattered around the one empty page (I needed on for the document to be created), in thumbnails sizes, and I'm grouping/moving them around while planning how to organize them in the book. I'll save the rename folder trick for another time, in case I need it. > > > ciao > a.l.e > > Thanks for your good advice, Marie-No?lle -- Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?
