Out Of Memory Error When Opening Large Documents
Problem
I am trying to open a file larger than 100 MB to edit it in Oxygen XML Developer plugin, but it keeps telling me it runs out of memory (OutOfMemoryError). What can I do?
Solution
You should make sure that the minimum limit of document size that enables the support for editing large documents (the value of the Optimize loading in the Text edit mode for files over option) is less than the size of your document. That will enable the optimized support for large documents. If that fails and you still get an Out Of Memory error you should increase the memory available to Oxygen XML Developer plugin.
- Make sure that you close other files before opening the large file.
- You can set the default editing mode in the Preferences dialog box. The Text editing mode uses less memory than other editing modes.
- If the file is too large for the editor to handle, you can open it in for viewing in Large File Viewer.
