Too many files

We are using version 2.5 pro.

We are receiving the below error message.

Out of memory, too many files. In the background it shows 4,189,999 files.

The directory has many sub-directory and lots of files. How can we make the software run with so many files?

Thanks,

Hello

To make sure VV does not exhaust all the memory available, split the job into multiple profiles. Each profile should deal with approx 1 million files. You can do that by using sub-folder filters in the profile settings (e.g. include /a* includes all sub-folders starting with A)

You can then use VVEngine to run all the profiles sequentially.
