Difficulty opening large file

Hi,

I'm making in Scribus a yearbook with lots of photo's. Because the file is very big my computer has problems with openingen it. Before I can see how far the file is loaded, it is only loading and saying 'does not react'. I'm very afraid I can't open my file anymore.. that would be a big problem cause I already spent lot's of time in the book..

Can anyone help me?

hi martie

first try to open the file without the images (move the image directory temporary to some place where scribus can't find it.)
if your file opens, go to 'file' → 'document setup' → 'tools' → 'image frame properties' and check the box 'low resolution preview'.
move the images back and try to open the file again – hope it works...

btw. what means 'lots of photos' in megabytes and what is the memory size of your computer?
