[GEM-dev] [pd-gem:bugs] Re: #249 pix_image freezes PD when loading many files on w32

["IOhannes m zmölnig"]

thanks for the additional information.
could you add this info also to the [Github tracker](https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/issues/156)?
(I'm trying to fade out the sf-tracker, but sometimes am too lazy...)

hi,

i attached a patch that demonstrates the freezing of PD when [pix_image] has opened more than ~2048 files (the exact number actually varied on each trial). it doesn't matter whether the files have already been opened or not, the freeze occurs at around 2048. actually it's not really a freeze as the patch keeps playing, but it can't be saved anymore. also all other write operations fail with this error message in the console:

"[full name of patch]: Too many open files"

OS: Windows 7 / 64bit
PD: 0.48.0 (but it also happens with 0.47.1)
GEM: 0.93.3

things i tried but didn't help:

"thread 0/1" message on opening the image
loading tiff instead of jpg
using [pix_buffer_read] or [pix_multiimage] instead of [pix_image]

best

oliver
