Add more memory under Mac Os

[bozzunter]

OK I've wasted about one hour by tryng by myself to add more memory to Java process but in vain. All your documents I read seemed to me incredibly useless as instead of giving generic instructions, you'd better tell users: just do this and this and it's done. I understand I've to add a parameter, but HOW?

After looking for a solution by myself I eventually opened the PF package content (in Applications folder) and I found JavaApplicationStub which runs Powerfolder application.

Now, the big question which, I assume, would help all Mac Os users is, HOW can I add the parameter you give in order to assign more memory to Powerfolder_

Dear Mauro,

We currently investigate this problem, please stay tuned.

java -Xmx128m -jar /Applications/PowerFolder.app/Contents/Resources/Java/PowerFolder.jar

Pop the above in the terminal to start pf.. But you will not be able to use the tray icon. But i guess you already figured that out?

Yep, indeed we all Mac users need something automatic from an icon :-/

Please do not use that:
java -Xmx128m -jar /Applications/PowerFolder.app/Contents/Resources/Java/PowerFolder.jar
it only adds 128m to powerfolder while the default should be 512mb
so using that line actually reduces the memory to 128 mb.
You can use that line, but better like this:
java -Xmx512m -jar /Applications/PowerFolder.app/Contents/Resources/Java/PowerFolder.jar

but should be only neccesary if your about box is telling you that you have 256 mb max ram or

java -Xmx1024m -jar /Applications/PowerFolder.app/Contents/Resources/Java/PowerFolder.jar
