The file is to large (536,9mb). Can I send you a link through dropbox perhaps?

Thanks. I can open your file without trouble here, but only using a 64 bit version of Scribus. The fact you have embedded all images in the document dramatically increases the memory requirements to load the file to the point a 32bit program will not be able to allocate that much memory. So your crash either comes from a lack of memory on your computer, or from the fact that your are still using a 32bit system.

In all cases, find someone who has a 64bit system with sufficient available memory, open your file, disembed all images from your file (I would suggest storing them in an "images" subfolder located in same folder as your document) and save your file again.

I can open your file in LinuxMint 20.x; 64bit; 8GB memory and scribus 1.5.7 svn
