Is there a known limit on the number of files BRU can handle in a directory?
I have the following problem: if I try to use BRU on a directory with too many files, BRU will crash while loading up the files.
Some of my photo folders have over 10,000 files. BRU switches to the folder, starts displaying the file list (side slider becoming smaller & smaller), then crashes before the end, without any message.
I use win XP SP3 and BRU 2.7.1.1. the problem occurs on a 500GB NTFS drive holding 334 GB of files, mostly *.jpg
I cannot pinpoint exactly how many is "too many", it does not seem to be consistently reproducible. I suspect it depends on the status of the system, how long it's been up. (resources issue?)
What is reproducible is that it will handle folders with few entries (<1,000) with no problem, and will choke on the biggest ones.
After it choked on a big folder, then it will choke on smaller ones that it could handle before. Until next re-boot.
Did anyone else meet this problem?
Is there a known limit to the number of files? any workaround?
