Description

I have a large project with vector DEM loaded.
When I try to edit any feature QGis starts indexing data.
First, it takes a veeery long time to index.
Second, it takes more than 8 Gigs of RAM.

Looks like QGis indexes the whole project. I believe it is sufficient to index only the canvas.

can you attach a sample project with data?

#2 Updated by Alexey T about 5 years ago

It is 8 Gb of DEM data in shapefiles. Snapping should be enabled. When you try to edit it, QGIS indexes it and consumes 19Gb of RAM.

a DEM is usually a raster map, in this case I guess you refer to a line vector map where lines represent the same terrain height, correct?
can we download this dataset somewhere?

#4 Updated by Alexey T about 5 years ago

Yes, vector lines.
Here is the dataset. 4 Gb zipped.

the dataset is split in several "small" shapes. I don't have any issues while editing any of them. Did you merged those shapes in one unique vector?

#6 Updated by Alexey T about 5 years ago

No, I didn't

#7 Updated by Alexey T about 5 years ago

Snapping shold be enabled.

I'm trying with one of those shapes (a 250MB one) with snapping enabled and I don't particular issues to edit on 3.4.4 (but it seems there is a regression on master).

What are the exact steps to follow to replicate the problem?

ok I replicated, it indeed eats up all memory and eventually will crashes.

Did it worked better on 2.18?

I answer myself: yes. No such issue on 2.18.

Can you try to enable the option "Settings->Options->Digitizing->Enable snapping on invisible features" and restart QGIS ?

it does not make any difference.

#16 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 5 years ago

  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented

There have been a update of the linspatialindex library in osgeo4w, and now this problem is gone.

#17 Updated by Alexey T about 5 years ago

In what version will it be fixed?

#18 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 5 years ago

it is already fixed if you use the osgeo4w installer, if not yo will need to wait for the next build of the standalone installer (not sure if it was generated one in the last hours).

The standalones are regularly only updated after releases.
