[Qgis-user] Is there a limit for the nb. of vector layers in a QGIS Project ???

[gene]

On Mac OS X, from William Kyngesburye  in the "Read me"  file

"Max Open Files

OS X has a hardwired limit of 256 open files per process.  What this means
for QGIS is that there is a limit to the number of shapefile layers in a
project, because QGIS keeps the shapefiles open.  Because shapefiles are a
collection of a minimum of 3 files, the maximum shapefile layers is 84 (I
think shapefiles are opened in a separate process from QGIS, otherwise QGIS
would not be able to run)"
