• I have made several panoraramas from large cylindrical panoramas, several gigabytes. Now I am at a loss.
    I have an 8 Gb psb-file (which I have even resaved with another name to eliminate saving errors). When I drop it on the MAKE PANO (MULTIRES) droplet, I starts making the tiles folder and saves both the preview file and 252 tiles with names like this: l5_01_235.jpg. Strangely the tiles have no content (0 bytes). Then the process stops with an error message stating it cannot create file 253:

    Anybody there being able to help me?

  • Hi,

    on Mac there is unfortunately a default limit of 256 files that can be opened at the same time,
    and krpano will write all tiles from one row at the same time,

    e.g. here:

    Code
    making tiles: l5_%0v_%0h.jpg - 298x24 (7152) tiles

    there will be at least 298 opened files needed

    you can increase this 256 files limit in terminal by the ulimit command,
    e.g. to increase the limit to 1000 files:

    Code
    ulimit -n 1000

    best regards,
    Klaus

  • Seems I got it right using this guide:

    To make it permanent, you could create a file named ".profile" (without the quotes) in your home folder (using a text editor - e.g. 'pico') and insert the following line into that file:
    ulimit -n 1000

    Thank you !
