Hello, If you set 2 GB of memory with the -Xmx parameter in oxygenMac.sh it should be enough for opening a file of 20 MB. Some files need more memory than other files of the same size depending on the file structure and the number of tags but I think that 1.5 GB is always enough for a file of 20 MB. If the heap memory set by -Xmx is not enough Oxygen reports an Out Of Memory error after 1 or 2 minutes and allows you to close and reopen the application without reopening the file. Other option for breaking the cycle if you don't want to wait until the Out Of Memory error is editing the file with the Oxygen preferences and replacing the lines <field name="lastOpenedFiles"> <openedFileInfo-array> <openedFileInfo> <field name="systemID"> ... </openedFileInfo-array> </field> with the lines: <field name="lastOpenedFiles"> <openedFileInfo-array></openedFileInfo-array> </field> The file is called oxyOptionsSa10.3.xml and is located in <user-home>/Library/Preferences/com.oxygenxml. Starting with the next version you can load the file using built-in special support for large files. That reduces the time and memory necessary for loading a very large file so the Out Of Memory is avoided but there are limitations. You can try this feature with the following All Platforms kit: http://www.oxygenxml.com/update/August20/oxygen.tar.gz You set the minimum file size for activating the large file support with the option "Optimize loading in the Text page for files over (MB)" that is available in Preferences -> Editor -> Open/Save.

I attempted to open a 20Meg file (an exported iTunes library). Even after setting the VM to 2014M, Oxygen effectively locks up trying to open the file. Since it's restoring its state on startup, there's no obvious way to break the cycle.
How do I break the cycle?
Thanks,
