I have been playing with ListPlot3D and list containing a huge amount of data points. I made the mistake to save the nb without deleting the output graphics (which took a lot to compute) and now when I open the nb and I scroll down to that part the system crashes (without any warning message) and the program exits.

I have tried to delete all the outputs but the system crashes in the same way. I have updated Mathematica to its last version. I have tried to lower the graphics resolution and opening the file without any external monitor connected without success.

Does anyone experienced this issue?

Thanks a lot for any help!

  • $\begingroup$ Try to disable Dynamic Updating (in the Evaluation Menu) and open the file. This may help--or it might not. Or, use PerformanceGoal->Speed in ListPlot so that the mouseover tooltips are disabled. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 7 at 18:11
  • $\begingroup$ @CraigCarter thanks for the reply. I have tried disabling Dynamic Updating but it still crashes. I cant modify the ListPlot because I cant scroll down to the plot without the nb crashing. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 8 at 4:44
  • $\begingroup$ Maybe it's worth opening the notebook in a text editor (vim) and removing GraphicsBox until it "works"? $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 8 at 4:52
  • $\begingroup$ Removing a cell (from a text editor) requires removing a Cell[BoxData[...]]. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 8 at 5:01
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks @David. Opening tne .nb with a text editor and locating the issue block allowed me to recover the file. It seems that the problem arised in a block were I was fitting a function to a big data set. Do you know if there is a way to avoid Mathematica saving all the data set information and fitted funtion when the file is saved and the program closed so as to avoid this issue in the future? $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 9 at 7:40
