Max number of files in folder

I'm setting up a web server running under OS 8.6. What's the limit as to number of files in a folder? Some of my image folders will have upwards of a thousand files. Do I need to break them up?
Thanks for any insights.

Hi, Thomas -
This Apple KBase article states the limits for the HFS+ drive format; if your hard drive is not formatted as HFS+ (= Mac OS Extended), it should be.
Article #24601 - HFS+ Format: Volume and File Limits
Although the format allows for over 30,000 items (files and folders) in a folder, having such a large number 'loose' (not segregated into smaller bunches in their own folders) will slow down the display of Finder windows and Navigation Services windows.

To find total number of files inside folder

Hai,
   In knowledge management is there any option to find total number of files inside folder...
    I also want to see the recently uploaded and modified documents in a seperate iview...
    Iam using NW2004s SP8..
    Very urgent..
    Waiting for a positive reply..
    Thanks&regards,
     Kiruthika.S

Hi Kiruthika,
1. You only need the configarchive if you don't want create all the KM configuration objects mentioned in the guide manually. So, just create the objects mentioned there and you don't need the configarchive
Also, the scenario works also on 2004s.
2. Please check this thread on how to show the total number of files inside a folder:
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=19610
3. It would be nice if you would consider rewarding the time people like Saravanan spend to investigate and answer your question by assigning points via the colored stars.

Max number of file descriptors in 32 vs 64 bit compilation

Hi,
I compiled a simple C app (with Solaris CC compiler) that attempts to open 10000 file descriptors using fopen(). It runs just fine when compile in 64-bit mode (with previously setting �ulimit �S -n 10000�).
However, when I compile it in 32-bit mode it fails to open more than 253 files. Call to system(�ulimit �a�) suggests that �nofiles (descriptors) 10000�.
Did anybody ever see similar problem before?
Thanks in advance,
Mikhail

On 32-bit Solaris, the stdio "FILE" struct stores the file descriptor (an integer) in an 8-bit field. WIth 3 files opened automatically at program start (stdin, stdout, stderr), that leaves 253 available file descriptors.
This limitation stems from early versions of Unix and Solaris, and must be maintained to allow old binaries to continue to work. That is, the layout of the FILE struct is wired into old programs, and thus cannot be changed.
When 64-bit Solaris was introduced, there was no compatibility issue, since there were no old 64-bit binaries . The limit of 256 file descriptors in stdio was removed by making the field larger. In addition, the layout of the FILE struct is hidden from user programs, so that future changes are possible, should become necessary.
To work around the limit, you can play some games with dup() and closing the original descriptor to make it available for use with a new file, or you can arrange to have fewer than the max number of files open at one time.
A new interface for stdio is being implemented to allow a large number of files to be open at one time. I don't know when it will be available or for which versions of Solaris.

Max Number of Files?

Is there a maximum number of photos/videos you can have in Photoshop Album?
(Sorry if has already been answered. I searched but couldn't find anything)
Thanks!

Hello,
I have the following questions which is linked to the "max number of files".
Since I am using the oldest PhotoShop Album version (V1), I am wondering if I can continue with it. I have 6000 pictures, and growing ~100 each months.I would like to migrate to PhotoShop Elements 8, I tried the trial version, but when trying to import the PSA catalog file, I have an error around 35% conversion... Anybody know what I can do ???
I tried to do a repair with PhotoShop Album, without success.
I can import pictures, by groups of 1000
But then, how could I merge all catalog ??

Max Number of files supported by new Zen Touch Firmwar

Hello
I used to have about 34gigs of music on my zen touch with the old firmware. But now it will only accept about 20 gigs. Does anyone know what is the max number of files that zen touch supports with new firmware ?
Thank You

Has anyone verified that this is true of MTP players as well? I doubt it'll be different (the tag-data library system is common to all Nomad-type Creative players, whether PDE or MTP), but with all the changes needed for MTP, it would be helpful.
I don't have a 40Gb Touch, which is really the kind of player you'd need to test this.
BTW, I was referring to the overall capacity limit, which is tied more to space than to number of songs; that was what Creative was talking about when they said MTP reduces the Touch's song capacity. Having a Micro myself, I've never had enough capacity to test the internal song limits.
Free space is pretty obvious, and the initial question was relating to number of files and any potential limit. I'm not sure what it is about MTP that reduces the space, whether it's the firmware, file system, or some addition to the files.

E-edition freezes up with 1A.pdf The max. number of files are already open no other files can be opened or printed until some are closed , showing four of five and computer froze any I must close by shutting down manually.

My online E-Edition newspaper will freeze up after loading the front page and gives me the message that the max. number of files are already open and no other files can be printed or opened until some are closed. 1A.pdf. When you click ok it repeats itself and you have to force shutdown by holding off button. I'm totally stumped.

I have read that "1000" is default maximum for Acrobat 4 or Acrobat 5 (I don't remmember it exactly anymore). Concerning my PC and RAM. I have a high-end graphical computer at my office; so I'm sure the RAM memory is not the reason.
Anyway, thanks for answer.

[JS CS3] About Number of files in folder.

Hello,
Is there any way to get number of files in a folder using javascript?.
I am going to locate the folder and then i want to create a script that will give number of files in that folder.
Thank you,
--Avi

> Is there any way to get number of files in a folder using javascript?.
There are a couple of different ways. Here's the most concise I can think of:
folder.getFiles(function(f) { return f instanceof File; }).length
But you really do need to read the docs if you are going to be working with File
and Folder objects.

Maximum number displayed files in Folder in Dock?

One of our users has over 800 files saved directly in her Documents folder. We keep this folder in the usual location, and also have it displayed in the Dock as a "list". When she clicks on the folder, about the first half of the files show up - if displayed alphabetically for example, she gets A - M.
Does anyone know if this is fixable? I'm assuming here that there is some maximum number of displayed files which maybe I can fix by editing a .plist or something. It drives her nuts to have to do the "open in Finder" thing half the time, but not the other half of the time (obviously, when she opens this folder as a Finder window everything is there, it is only the display in the Dock which refuses to show all items).
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. There is indeed a maximum number of files that the dock will show in the contextual menu. Yeah, it would be best if the user wouldn't keep everything organized like that, but it isn't possible to lean over someone's shoulder all the time...

Number of files in folder changed-.

I keep track of number of files for some folders. And today, for some unknown reason, the number of files changed….
There are supposed to be 52,483 files in this folder, but "get info" shows that there are 50,250 files… I entered Time Machine, and those numbers changed too… I even checked back-ups from February of 2014, and that folder also was missing 2233 files according to "get info"… I randomly checked 10 back-ups, and in each back-up this folder was missing exactly 2233 files. I always back-up my Mac when these numbers match.
Thankfully, I don't seem to see any missing files at all. However, this still bugs me… What kind of sorcery is this?!?! My inner OCD is killing me! How can there be a difference of 2233 files in the folder suddenly? Furthermore, what baffles me the most is the fact that even Time Machine changed those numbers…
Can someone please tell me what could have cause this?
Few things to note:
* I always check the number of files before Time Machine back-up and shutting down. Then I type these numbers on a text file.
* A couple of days ago, I changed my start-up disk to core volume using this instruction (As many might already know, Yosemite partition becomes core volume…) - http://awesometoast.com/yosemite-cor...artition-woes/
* That same day, I was asked password whenever I moved files to Trash. So I went to Home Folder, and clicked "apply to enclosed items."
* Sudden notification told me that my computer is running on UPS battery back-up. However, there was no power interruption that that time
* My iMac is on 10.8.5

In my "Profile" folder are the following--
- Disk folder RecycleBin.ffs_tmp is 1.34Gb and contains 578 files even though I have made multiple attempts to "Compress folders" and typically delete e-mail permanently.
- Disk folder Inbox.mozmsgs is 82.5 Mb and contains almost 11K files like:
0.0.0.1DC.1CBC221817A786C.0%40mail6.idgpublishing.com.wdseml
- Disk folder Trash.mozmsgs is 882Kb and contains 142 files even though my Trash folder has less than 40 files. Example file names:
0.0.9.BF4.1CFAA6AF4294548.0%40omp.e.tigerdirect.com.wdseml
3W98B75I.4527022%40roperusa.com.wdseml
For each of my e-mail folders, there now appears to be a disk folder with the same name as the e-mail folder and a "file extension" of ".mozmsgs". And at least some of these appear in both the "Profile" folder, "...\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\5yx36fcc.default", and in a folder within that one, "..\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\5yx36fcc.default\Mail\Local Folders".

Number of files in folder

Hi
Is it possible by use of standard functionality to add number of files in a folder?
I was thinking of a solution like this: [icon] [foldername] (number of files) --> "My work (23)
Another question to the folder part I have 4 separate folder that contains folders inside; I need to create an alphabetic list of all the content from the four folders. Is this possible by use of standard portal functionality?
Kind regards
John Stubbe

Hello John,
Yes, this is possible. The standard provides the property rnd:childcount (see Property Metadata Service -> Properties). In order to make it visible in a navigation iview add this property to the parameter Displayed Properties where you would like to see it. A new column will be shown if you use "...,rnd:childcount,...". if you use "...+rnd:childcount,..." the value is added directly to the previous displayed property.
Moreover you need to specify design of the child count property in the Resource Renderer. The parameter Mode For Child Count allows you to choose what exactly is counted, e.g. only folders, only files, etc.
Kind regards,
Roland

Throttling a file adapter to consume a max number of files per minute

Is there a way to design a file adapter to throttle its processing bandwidth.
A simple use case scenario is describes as follows;
A File Adapter can only consumes a max of 5 files per minute. The producer average throughput is 3 files per minute but during peak times it can send 100 files per min. The peak times occur during end of year or quarterly accounting periods. If the consumer consumes more than 5 files per min the integrity of the environment and data is compromised.
The SLA for the adapter is to :
- Each file will be processed within 2 seconds.
- Maximum File Transactions Per minute is 5
An example is as follows.
The producer sends 20 files to its staging directory within a minute. The consumer only processes 5 of these files in the first minute, sleeps then wakes up to consume the next 5 files in the second minute. This process is repeated until all files are processed.
The producer can send another batch of files when ever it likes. So in the second minute the producer can send another 70 files. The consumer will throttle the files so it only processes 5 of these files every minute.

Hi,
If you have a polling frequency set to 2 secs..then controlling it to read only five files a min is difficult.?You can have the polling frequecy changed to 12secs
or u can schedule a BPEL for every min and use synchronous read operation and loop it 5 times to read 5 files.

Max number of files that can be opened in harddrive through AEBS?

What is the maximum number of files that can be opened in a external hard drive (Lacie 500 GB, USB 2.0) connected through the AEBS? Looks like there is a limit.
When I am trying to 'seed' files through a bit-torrent client (Azureus 2.5.0.4) many of them give an error "Error: too many open files". I never had this error before.
When I tried to delete a file in the hard drive, I got the error "too many open files". Then I stopped 'seeding' in Azureus and I was able to delete the file.

Thanks Chris, it has almost become unwieldy now at this stage ... I'm actually thinking of calling another template for certain sections
I belive this is possible..

Max number/size of QT files on one scratch folder

Is there a limit to the number of files in one scratch folder? Is it helpful to partition a big drive like I would on an Avid.
Can't seem to find any limits in the manual.
John
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I wouldn't partition the drives unless they are sort of slow and old... it just takes up space. In the old Avid days I had, you needed to do this to keep video files off the slowest area of the arrays, but that isn't much the case anymore because the drives are so much faster than they used to be.
There is no limit to number of files either, just limited to your storage space.

Add Folder - is there a limit to the number of files you can add in one go?

I have a fairly large collection (60GB+) of 192kbps mp3 files which are stored under My Music in a folder structure of Artists / Album, e.g. "My Music \ ACDC \ Back in Black\ Hells Bells.mp3"
I recently bought an ipod and having installed itunes I wanted to add all my music. I figured out that the way to do this is to go File / Add Folder and select the "My Music" folder.
However, itunes starts adding the mp3s and stops at the Bruce Springsteen folder. At this point the itunes library can see all the "A" folders and the "Bs" up to and including Bruce Springsteen. If I try the process again nothing happens.
However, if I then try to add a specific folder e.g. "My Music \ Charlatans" it works.
This suggests to me that the Add Folder option has a limit to the number of files it can process.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as I'm not looking forward to manually adding a hundred or so folders.

Well the part about putting songs in the "iTUnes Music" folder I only brought up because it seemed you liked things very organized. You could use iTunes to so all the organizeing. Plus once you add something to the iTUnes library, if you change ANYTHING about it in windows explorer, like its name, change the name of the folder its in or move it to another folder, iTUnes "Looses Track" of it. Its not like other programs that "Watch" files and folders for changes outside its "iTUnes Music" folder
But to have iTUnes auto search, you have to delete a hidden pref file. After doing this, when you open iTUnes again it will throw up a setup wizard, just like its the first time ever installing it. Its in this wizard where you get your ONLY chance to have iTUnes auto search and add files from the system. Just goto the link below and follow Scott P's steps

Also since your new to the ipod, you my want to check out the "iPod 101" section so you can learn the ropes of everything

Where to find the number of files in a folder (in Finder)?

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard.
In the past I could look at the bottom of the finder window and see how many files where in a particular folder. And how much megawattage they respresented in total.
Is there some kind of preference I can set in Mountain Lion to be able to see the 'number' of files in a given folder?
All ears,
Ben

Thank you Kurt,
You're an ace.
Much appreciated.
