Re-start issue

Kubuntu 12.10 current Digikam 2.8 from the current Kubuntu repository Digikam database 110.8 Gb 762 folders 18,389 images
I do a lot of work with Digikam. Resizing, sharpening, colour correction, renaming, etc. I have found in the past few weeks that I can open Digikam, do a bunch of work, and close Digikam just fine. However, if I restart Digikam without restarting Kubuntu I get a large number of error messages of the type:
QfilesystemWatcher: failed to add paths: path-name :too many files open
The path-name starts about 3/4 of the way through the albums in my Digikam directory. If I do a system restart then Digikam opens properly and works well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, I found in the documentation:
Note: The act of monitoring files and directories for modifications consumes system resources. This implies there is a limit to the number of files and directories your process can monitor simultaneously. On Mac OS X 10.4 and all BSD variants, for example, an open file descriptor is required for each monitored file. Some system limits the number of open file descriptors to 256 by default. This means that addPath() and addPaths() will fail if your process tries to add more than 256 files or directories to the file system monitor. Also note that your process may have other file descriptors open in addition to the ones for files being monitored, and these other open descriptors also count in the total. Mac OS X 10.5 and up use a different backend and do not suffer from this issue.
So you may try to reduce the number of folders, or find other applications that keep files open. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that information. I do have a tendency to do a lot at one time. I'll watch for that and try again.
