Can't increase memory limit in FIJI

[Stoyan Pavlov]

Hello all,
I have ran into the following problem.
When I try to increase the memory limit in Fiji (say to 1300 MB) the
program gives a message that the limit will be set after a restart. When I
restart however the limit is set to 716MB. IN the jvm.cfg there is
-Xmx1300m entry but the limit is just 716MB.
My other ImageJ distribution doesn't have this problem.
I am running windowsXP 32bit with 2048 MB of RAM. Both Imagej installments
are installed with the bundled java, although I have java installed on the
system aswell.

Is there any explanation and solution for this behaviour?

Update: Just found out that when I change the name of jvm.cfg to ImageJ.cfg
the memory  limit works.  But when I try to change it again, fiji writes in
the jvm.cfg and not in the ImageJ.cfg. Weird or what!?!?!?!?!?!?

The idea of introducing jvm.cfg with Fiji was to introduce a
platform-independent configuration file (ImageJ.cfg is Windows-specific,
really). However, ImageJ 1.x never incorporated this change, so we now
heed ImageJ.cfg over jvm.cfg in Fiji (ignoring the Windows-specific
parts).

The plugin in Fiji that overrides ImageJ 1.x' memory option plugin was not
yet adapted. I will fix it later today and upload a new version of
fiji-compat (which will fix your problem).

Thanks for reporting the issue!

It is uploaded. Could you please verify that it is fixed?
