I suppose open files is the limit, but the problem appears much before that. Anyway, I tried to change with ulimit -n 2048, but the gThumb still gives up. (there are only 900 images in the directory, and the program gives up at maybe 600). The numbers in /proc/sys/fs/file-nr change with a rate of about 3 - 4 each thumbnail that is opened. John
