montage -list resource says that the file limit is 768. I'd like to change that to, say, 10001. To facilitate this I edited vim /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml, changing this line:

<!-- <policy domain="resource" name="file" value="10001"/> -->

To this:

<policy domain="resource" name="file" value="10001"/>

But when I rerun montage -list resource it still says that the file limit is 768.

Any ideas?

  • You need to be root to change it. If you are on a shared server, the hosting provider needs to make the change.. You can only make it more restrictive, not less. The ISP can make it anything. – fmw42 Aug 13 '22 at 05:16
  • @fmw42 - I am root when I change it. Testament to this is the fact that my changes to `` stuck (well that's what I changed it too - not what I changed it from). `montage -list resource` reflects this. It just isn't reflecting changes I make to the file resource. – neubert Aug 13 '22 at 05:19
  • Then you should inquire on the Imagemagick GIF forum at https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick6 for IM 6 and at https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick for IM 7 – fmw42 Aug 13 '22 at 15:33
