<ul></ul><p>This is a known "issue" on Windows machines, in particular XP/32bit. Not sure if it is a QGIS issue or a OS limitation when it comes to use of large amounts of memory. I don't have many chances to make deep tests on this matter, so I would like to ask if can help. Try print the same project on a Vista/Seven/Linux 32/64bit machine and see if it goes better.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #4821: Can't print in A0 size, used to work in QGIS 1.6https://issues.qgis.org/issues/4821?journal_id=289132012-01-31T02:02:27ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>This should mean/confirm that is a memory issue of Windows XP 32bit.</p>
<p>If you can share a project that is not printing on XP 32bit I can manage to test it on Linux and Seven.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #4821: Can't print in A0 size, used to work in QGIS 1.6https://issues.qgis.org/issues/4821?journal_id=289202012-01-31T03:30:28ZRichard Duivenvoorde
<ul></ul><p>I can confirm this for Windows XP.</p>
<p>About one year ago I did some A0-pdf print tests with a client. While on his XP machine the pdf either failed or was corrupted (not sure which one of those), doing the same on my ubuntu 32bits laptop succeeded at that time.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #4821: Can't print in A0 size, used to work in QGIS 1.6https://issues.qgis.org/issues/4821?journal_id=289212012-01-31T03:44:00ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>this is also what I'm observing and what I have been told by others. It seems anyway that Vista/Seven 32 bit are not suffering of such memory bad management. I believe that we should "catch" if a user is using XP 32bit and letting him know that in the composer he can find limitations.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #4821: Can't print in A0 size, used to work in QGIS 1.6https://issues.qgis.org/issues/4821?journal_id=289972012-02-03T06:27:21ZMartin Studer

<ul></ul><p>I tested the egis 1.7.4 BAD allocation problem on winxp with a collegue of mine. She frequently has this bad allocation problem, I have this problem just with her projects.<br />As suggested by Giovanni we tried to re-create the same project with qgis 1.6 and she printed her map correctly. Then she tried to use again the 1.7.4 and she got again the bad allocation pop up.</p>
<p>Then we tried to recreate the project from the beginning. And we realized that: she loaded the shapefiles as "folder" and I loaded them as "files": if she loads shape files as "files" it works correctly.</p>

<p>Marco got the crashes also on qgis 1.6, so it seems to be indeed a memory management problem on win32 when using large formats and heavy layouts. The solution will be qgis 64 bit on win64, or (I guess) add more memory on win32 machines.</p>
<p>This should be closed as "won't fix", but I'll Marco to take the more appropriated action.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #4821: Can't print in A0 size, used to work in QGIS 1.6https://issues.qgis.org/issues/4821?journal_id=317222012-05-04T00:57:01ZNathan Woodrow
<ul></ul><p>I don't think closing it as "won't fix" is a good move. Sure it's not a easy fix but I'm sure it can be fixed. There must be something that is causing the memory issues and should be investigated if we can. I can print A0 in MapInfo, ArcGIS, and every other GIS program. So we need to fix it at some stage.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #4821: Can't print in A0 size, used to work in QGIS 1.6https://issues.qgis.org/issues/4821?journal_id=317232012-05-04T01:04:37ZPaolo Cavallinicavallini@faunalia.it

<p>The 64bit installer would be independant of OSGEO4W. OSGEO4W doesn't have 64bit binaries.
