how to disable 10 image warning?

Post by terrya84 »

Can someone please tell me how to disable the "You have selected more than 10 files" warning in PSP X5 please.
It's not listed in the warning preferences and as I work with more than 10 images every day it's a total pain.

Thanks

Just click yes and it opens the amount of images you have selected.
The message you are seeing is just a warning.

Go to File > Preferences > General Program Preferences > Warnings. Uncheck "Prompt user about large memory usage".

"Just click yes and it opens the amount of images you have selected.

Yes, I know that, I do it every single day. That's why I want to disable this stupid warning so I don't have to click Yes every single day, thanks

"Go to File > Preferences > General Program Preferences > Warnings. Uncheck "Prompt user about large memory usage"."

Done that, it doesn't stop the warning coming up, but thanks for suggestion.

Still hoping someone can tell me how to disable this warning as it's a royal pain in the butt.

Thanks

Just want to thank everyone for their assistance here. Nice to know you can come to the source and get no help at all, wonderful.
I'll remember this when I get the next update notice for PSP

This isn't the source? This is the user to user board.

Final answer, there is no stopping that notice.

thanks, but why is it there other than to piss people off.
I have worked with more than 10 images open every day for years and never had a problem, so why is it there?
I presume because some programmer from the stone-age when computers had little grunt or RAM and who never actually uses the software though it would be a good idea too piss off users.

10 images or more, any size(32,000pixels before X3, 10,000-20,000 after), with the potential for many undos, layers, effects, processes, adjustments, the potential to run out of RAM was and still is very real. PSP can only handle 2GB of memory...maybe 3 at a stretch, and people have run out of memory before editing large numbers of photos. Though admittedly this was seen more often with X3 because it wasn't releasing RAM, but it's still possible. Just a standard warning so if people do encounter the problem they can point and say "We warned you."

Well, I'm with the thread creator here, even if I don't like the language.

The Warning makes no sense other than being annoying. It is so simple implemented that I would be ashamed as a programmer, it doesn't even check anything, if you open 10 pics with 10x10 pixels you get it too.
And you can run out of RAM with 1 picture too, if you turn off undo-limitations and do enough stuff with a giant picture. And if you would run out of RAM, what will happen then, that is so disastrous that you need a warning right from the beginning, so that you don't even think of getting close to that point? Total System Failure? :lol: Windows isn't like that anymore since about the first beta of PSP1.

I have an ingenious proposal :D : Let's warn the User when the RAM is, or is getting close to being full? And not every time he opens any 10 pics. How does that sound? But that Warning and the one from the thread, must be turned on or off via the settings, like in any other free or cheaper Software.
