hi again,

almost; an operating system (like linux) usually allows a certain process only to open up so many files at the same tme and not more. if the process fails to close unneeded files, it will eventually run out of file-handles.
the limit is usually set rather high (about 2000 handles or so), so i guess you are loading about a 100 images per go...
i found that one out too, i still hope its not a os issue but can be configured in pd!!!! and you are right its actually 200 images per go
well, it seems to be a bug as it should free the file-handles immediately after the image has been loaded.
in order to fix this bug we need to know the operating system you are
using.
(and the exact version of Gem might help as well)
sorry forgot to post my specs: os: windows xp professional, service pack 3 pd: ver. 0.40.3-extended gem: ver. 0.91(included in pd extended)
thx AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! johann

most likely it is a bug in Gem (or - unlikely - one of ist auxiliary libraries). most likely you will not be able to "configure" this from within Pd.
a workaround for now, _might_ be to use [pix_buffer] to read the images). i say "might" because this object might trigger the same bug as well.

thanks.
which kind of images are you trying to load (jpeg, tif,...?)

thx for the fast answer, i will try that one out with pix_buffer, and download the newest version of gem, which is 0.91.3, hope it will work!!!!! ah...it's .tif sequences, due to the included alpha channel which i need! mfg johann
