I'm having a problem adjusting the memory settings for Jalview. I'm running Jalview 2.4 on MacOS 10.5.7 (installed using installAnywhere). The program works fine except that I get a low memory error when trying to export to PNG or EPS files. Neither the Jalview.app/Contents directory nor the Info.plist file were installed. Am I missing something, or is there another file in the 2.4 version that you need to change to adjust the memory settings?
Thanks,
Paul
For reference: Instructions for changing memory settings with MacOS version....
The lines you need to change are in the Info.plist file inside the Jalview.app/Contents directory (which is where the installAnywhere installation was made) :
<key&ht;VMOptions</key&ht;
<array>
! <string>-Xms2M</string>
! <string>-Xmx64M</string>
</array>
Exchange the above two string tags for :
<string>-Xms500M</string>
<string>-Xmx1000M</string>
For you information, these are the directories and files that were installed in the Jalview directory:
