Photos Export

Hi all,


I am trying to use the Export feature in Photos to export my 47,000 photos from my library to the same hard drive, but every time I get out of application memory error.


Shouldn't the application be able to handle this? Or do I have to guess how many photos it can handle?


Thanks

Is there a log file somewhere, or a way to view a verbose progress to verify that?


I am not doubting you, but I watched it’s activity through Activity Monitor and the Photos application just keeps increasing memory usage, it got up past 60GB of memory. I imagine it continues to increase until it runs out of application memory, trying to process all the export files as a batch instead of sequentially. How do I find the amount of application memory available?
