I have a largish (7+ MB) file (high-res: 7200x7200 px). When I try to export this file the program crashes very consistently. I have tried this on several machines, and so I am forced to consider the _very_ ugly possibility that I will have to recreate this from scratch.
This would go fairly quickly, but we are talking about a rather complex document here that I just don't want to redo. I have vacuumed the defs, but that didn't help. If anyone has any idea about the best aproach to healing files, I would greatly appreciate it. I have also checked that the computers in question will export other files, and they do that just fine.
As a semi-side note, one of the times this happened, it also corrupted the svg quite nastily (when I opened it in a text-editor, it was completely garbled), and I had to recreate the file from a somewhat dated backup. I now keep *much* better backups, but this is getting to be a real issue.
I even tried opening said file in GIMP (which will open svgs), but this crashed the GIMP!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
