Memory problem converting large number of panos via commandline

Hi,

I want to convert some 10.000 panos to multires. Since there are too many for the droplet, I am using a commandline:

krpanotools64.exe makepano -config=\templates\multires.config "c:\inputpanos\*.jpg"

But with converting, memory used increases by around 15MB every minute, so after a while memory is full and it fails. How to get around this, for instance by releasing memory?

Cheers!

Just powershell or batch script it.. or whatever scripting your OS supports.

Hi Sacha,
thanks for responding. It is running via Batch, but the simple way, only using mentioned command line. On Windows7, 64bit, 8GB mem.

Is there a way to release memory in between?

Hi Sacha, thanks once again.
(sorry for late replay, forgot to add this thread to my favorites)

Right, I will try that, I have the whole list, so it's easy to create one line per file. But would it be possible to use a for loop with a searchvariable for the filename? I will try to find it myself as well, it's been a while scripting in MSDOS..

Cheers!

Haven't written the for-loop yet, but at least your recommended approach is working! Thanks!

Mmmm, for loop was easy of course, now will test if it works ok with memory, which should be ok...

thanks again!

thanks!

I agree. Then again, the for-loop was easy to setup as well:

FOR %%A IN ("c:\inputfiles\*.jpg") DO krpanotools64.exe makepano -config=\templates\multires.config "%%A"
