Getting Upset

Sorry guys,
I think there is an issue about that "too many files open" error.
I still have this problem (see my post in 2019) but, together with other users in this forum, I never got my problem solved.
I think i was the last time I donate to this App.

Sorry
bazu

This looks like a related issue:

I wonder if how many files you have in that location and if that number is too many

Thanks for your answer.
The folder synchronization affects an iPhoto library and I'm pretty sure, that there are users who have photo libraries with way more photos/fies than I do.
Apart from that I'm a "normal" user and don't want hack around in any source code lines...

I'd be interested in what Zenju can make of this. I don't think any of us end users can fix it

Which is just how many?

Maybe something to do with -ulimit?

550,000

Limited number of files

And I'll throw this in, fwiw?
Passing FDs/handles between processes on Unix and Windows - a comparison.
And, lstat - get symbolic link status.
