Increasing the amount of memory that Syncro SVN Client uses on Windows

To increase the memory available to Syncro SVN Client on Windows:
  • navigate to the installation directory of Syncro SVN Client;
  • locate the -Xmx parameter in the syncroSVNClient.vmoptions file;
    Note: For 32-bit Windows modify the parameter to -Xmx1024m or larger, but not over -Xmx1200m. Make sure you do not exceed your physical RAM. For 64-bit Windows modify the parameter to a larger value (for example -Xmx2048m). We recommended you to not use more than half of your existing physical RAM.

Restart Syncro SVN Client. Go to Help > About and verify the amount of memory that is actually available (see the last row in the About dialog). In case Syncro SVN Client does not start and you receive and error message saying that it could not start the JVM, decrees the -Xmx parameter and try again.

For Windows Vista/7, copy the syncroSVNClient.vmoptions to your desktop (or to any other folder with write access), modify it there, then copy it back to the Syncro SVN Client installation folder.
Note: The parameters from the .vmoptions file are used when you start Syncro SVN Client with the oxygen launcher (or with the desktop shortcut). In case you use the command line script oxygen.bat/oxygen.sh, modify the -Xmx parameter in the script file.

Increasing the amount of memory that Syncro SVN Client uses on Mac OS X

To increase the memory available to Syncro SVN Client on Mac OS X:
  • Ctrl (Meta on Mac OS) + Click (or right click) the Syncro SVN Client icon in Finder;
  • from the pop-up menu, select Show Package Contents;
  • navigate to the Contents directory and open for editing the Info.plist file;
    Note: You can open this file either with the Property List Editor, or the TextEdit.
  • Look for the VMOptions key and adjust the -Xmx parameter to a larger value (for example -Xmx1500m)
    Note: Try not to use more than half of your existing physical RAM if possible.
