I set the number of CPU down to 1, still fails after 6 photos (4948 bit wide each). If I reduce the resolution of each photo to 1600 (268kb file size each), I can load 140+ pictures no sweat. At a resolution of 3200 bits wide and I was able to load close to 100 photos before it fails.
If anybody wants to try, the pictures are located at: https://picasaweb.google.com/116295145477369704246/HuginTest?authkey=Gv1sRgCPeHl_-Wmci06QE On Tuesday, May 29, 2012 11:16:27 PM UTC-7, Steeve wrote: > > >>"An error happened while loading image : caught exception: bad > allocation" > Hasn't this problem already been discussed on this newsgroups? > > In summary on computers with multiple cores/processors images are > being loaded in parallel which consumes too much memory..
