To go beyond 30 000 entries, the amount of memory allocated for jLog must be increased by editing the Java VM Maximum (and optionally also Minimum) memory allocation values as follows:
Locate the file 'jlog.lax' in the folder where jLog was installed. Open the file in a text editor (e.g. WordPad on Windows) and carefully add the following lines at the end of the file:
# LAX.NL.JAVA.OPTION.JAVA.HEAP.SIZE.MAX
# -------------------------------------
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max=128000000
If you get a memory failure, try to increase the numbers to e.g. 192000000 or more (depending on the amount of memory in your computer). You may want to experiment with this figure if jLog appears to have delays. You may try with smaller or bigger numbers and observe the speed changes...
Save the changes and restart jLog.
The same procedure applies for 'min' (increasing it may decrease loading time when logs are large).
The amount of memory allocated for jLog can be increased by editing the Maximum (-Xmx) and Minimum (-<Xms) memory allocation values as follows:
Ctrl-click on jLog in the Applications folder (or wherever you have placed it) and select 'Show Package Contents'. A new Finder window opens. Double-click 'Contents'.
1) If you have the Property List Editor available, you can double-click the 'Info.plist' file. Open 'Root' and then 'Java'. Double-click on the value for the 'VMOptions' entry to open an array of values. Set the maximum (-Xmx) to e.g. 128 Mbytes as and optionally the minimum (-Xms) to e.g. 16 Mbytes as
-Xmx128M
-Xms16M.
2) If you do not have the Property List Editor installed, you can edit the file in a text editor (be careful). Locate <key>VMOptions</key> and change the values as follows:
<key>VMOptions</key>
<array>
<string>Xmx128M</string>
<string>Xms16M</string>
</array>
Save the changes.
