Interesting question, it references a lot of layers that are external to the project directory, is there a quick way to package up the project with everything referenced by it (>>5MB), to send as a test case? Or should I just send it with the broken references (3.8MB)?

Unless you're doing something fancy like data defined symbology in the rectangles try sending it with the broken layers first and I'll take a look.

here it is, thanks for taking a look. I'm curious if just the project file alone would be enough since that's where the composer objects reside? Anyway the object in question is a small solid white rectangle with no border; it's on the top outside edge of the big map and extends beyond the border markings of the big map; it's at:

x=443.623
y=4.22776
width=34.551
height=9.62179

(The shape in question was meant to mask things out, but, this did not work since the big map and its border markings can't be separated into two different layers as far as I know.)

Is there a smarter way to select it? I just use the select tool and click in the region then have to hit ctrl-alt-[ about 20 times to get it selected.

operator error, sorry about that, try this one.

there are many layouts in your project, what it is one where to look into?

wall_map is the composer in question.

I can't see that "small solid white rectangle with no border" near the position you say.

can you point it to us with a screenshot?

sure - it's meant to not be visible except as a mask, so, it won't show up until it's outlined when selected by cycling thru ctrl-alt-[

no crash here on both linux and windows, you may want to add the full project then.

ok - do you know of a good way to modularize / export the whole thing since it has references to shapefiles at absolute directories? (If not, that might be an interesting feature request)

you can try the QConsolidate plugin.

will do, but won't have time until late tonight, so, will check in a day from now. Thanks

From the description, that looks exactly like what's needed. I see it's not actually released and doesn't look like it's in active development - how does one install something like that?
