Summary0006630: Very slow and loosing pictures on opening
DescriptionTo produce my picturebook I should put together 5 Scribus-chapers into a single PDF file.
Unfortunatly this is not possible with Scribus.
Opening a file takes hours and images are not shown.
I beleve the problem arises when the computer starts to use the swap file.
I don't know why scribus has to work so hard during the load time.
Viewing these 400 pictures with "gThumb Image Viewer" in full screen or
thumbnail mode is very fast on my computer.
When I switch off "Image viewing" scribus should load the file in a matter of seconds (my opinion) but it still takes hours !

This is also a duplicate of <http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=4506> (high number of images leads to a Out of Memory error and crash, with whole system instability)
During file-load all swap memory is consumed and scribus crashes.
This issue seems not to be solved in newer versions.
Revert to Version 1.2 is not attractive - will probably lead to problems with file compatibility.
I will try to send the picturebook in 5 chapters to the printer - they do not like this extra handling ...
