Re: Increase memory
I have been trying to increase the memory by following the steps of the FAQ but I am stuck. I'm using the installer version on macOS 12.1.

The FAQ says to "edit the Info.plist" and "change this number by udpating the value of the -Xmx". This is what tried to do. I followed the following steps : Show Package Contents > Contents > Info.plist. However, once the Info.plist opened, nowhere in the lines of the code could I find an "-Xmx" value.

Here is the code :

Do you know how I could proceed? Thank you in advance.
