Hi David, Hopefully in v16.0 this won't be necessary anymore as we're currently investigating the possibility of keeping an additional .vmoptions file in the Oxygen options folder (in the user profile) and thus have this persistent after upgrading/reinstalling. At this time (v15.2 and earlier) a simple trick is to duplicate the startup launcher (and its .vmoptions file for Windows/Linux) and thus keep your .vmoptions file distinct from Oxygen's. e.g. Windows/Linux: Duplicate 'oxygen15.2'(.exe) and 'oxygen15.2.vmoptions', rename them similarly, 'myOxygen4G'(.exe) and 'myOxygen4G.vmoptions' and modify the duplicate .vmoptions file. OS X: Duplicate the 'Oxygen XML Editor.app' and rename it to your liking 'myOxygen4G.app' and edit the 'Info.plist' file from the duplicate. This way you could keep using your duplicate launcher without being affected by the default launcher and its .vmoptions which get overwritten when upgrading/reinstalling.

Because I often work with large XML files, I need to modify the default Java settings for oXygen to allow more maximum memory (-Xmx4096m instead of the default 1024 usually).
In the Mac environment, this is easy to do by editing the Info.plist file, but I always forget to do it when I upgrade oXygen and only discover it when opening a large file causes problems.
Does anyone have a (semi-)automated way to preserve settings like this, or should I just try to remember? (I could put a file in the oXygen directory called "000_REMEMBER_TO_INCREASE_JAVA_MEMORY.txt" !)
