Re: Limiting parallel when used with recursion

[Schweiss, Chip]

The problem with that is that parallel will start execution on parent folder before the child process is finish.   This is why I chose recursion.  Each iteration calls parallel on all children, when complete executes on itself.   The problem is there becomes many parallel processes and too many jobs running at once.

I need a way to limit the total number of jobs running at once.  While at the same time not executing on a parent until all children are complete.
