qpdfview seems to have come to terms with the size of the Baptisms file
and I've even found out how to open the navigation side bar that is
essential for finding the different parishes.
So far I have only opened files in three tabs but I normally have eight
open at once and often more so it will be interesting to see how it
works out in 'real life' use.
Duh! switching between tabs is so slooow and the screen has now gone
blank. It came back after several minutes but that will be a pain if
it does it all the time
I don't have much choice though so will have to persist ;-(
