I am making a Gigapixel in 260.000x38000 and has got into the max 256 files problem
The tools does not work because to many files need to be open.
Klaus has told me I should use Terminal and run command ulimit -n 1000 ( or more)
However it does not work for me. After I have run it I just get a popup saying Apple event Handler failed when I drop the file on the droplet.
I have to close down Terminal to reset it
I searched the web and got alot of solutions. One is to make a file in the Invisible ETC folder called launchd.conf and write this in it.
limit maxfiles 1000000 unlimited
That should make the max files permanently changed . I managed to find out how to do this , however it does not work.
Anyone who knows how to do this properly.
If I run ulimit -n to find out what it says I now get this. It looks like I have 1000 but I still get errors.
