convert and memory usage
Posted: 2016-09-30T15:13:41-07:00
Hi,
I tried converting multiple jpegs into a pdf but the memory usage is exploding and freezing the whole computer. The set limits are ignored. I read that convert doesn't care about those since it loads all images into memory first. How can I still limit the usage?
It worked fine with a simple convert command. So loading the original images alone isn't the problem. But I'm also doing some modifcation like resize and extend. And that seems to be done in memory too for all images and so the usage goes up to way over 4.5 GB.
Thanks
