Memory Settings

You can change the Java memory settings used to run Content Studio on the client by modifying the vmargs property in configuration-layer-root/com/escenic/webstart/StudioConfig.properties. The default setting for this property is:

vmargs=-Xms128m -Xmx256m

These settings may, however, be too low for users who need to be able to edit large images. To find out the approximate maximum image size that can be edited in Content Studio, divide the -Xmx value by 30. The default setting, in other words, will allow users to edit images of up to about 8.5 mega pixels in size. If this is insufficient, increase the -Xmx value as required. A vmargs setting of:

vmargs=-Xms128m -Xmx512m

for example, will enable users to edit images of up to about 17 mega pixels in size.
