Hello Everybody !
I am running a folder script...
...when there is more than 80 files the action folder process
will fail with error message: folder action out of memory... How can I
allocate more memory to this process...
Hi Jean
You can use ResEdit to change the SIZE resource within the Folder
Actions extension. I have done this in a similar situation to yourself,
with reasonable (although not perfect) results.
This is what you do:
Remember, when using ResEdit you should ALWAYS work on a copy of the
original file as insurance against things going horribly wrong.
1) Make a copy of the extension. Keep the original somewhere safe.
2) Open the copy in ResEdit.
3) Open the SIZE resource.
4) Open SIZE ID -1.
5) Scroll to the bottom. Increase the number in the Size box to whatever
you think appropriate (try doubling it). Don't touch anything else.
6) Quit ResEdit, saving changes.
7) Rename the copy to "Folder Actions" and drop it onto your System
Folder.
8) Restart.
Hope this helps.
Hugh
