Just stumbled upon this user group; had no idea it still existed.
Anyway, I need some advice regarding configuration settings for running Paris
3.0 (single card) on an Apple G4 Ethernet dual processor running OS 9.2.
(And please forgive me for sounding ignorant because I am.)
Lately, depending on the project, I’ve gotten memory warnings when saving.
To work around it, I just cleared the Undo buffer within the project and
kept working.
Today I decided to try to optimize my settings. I referred to an old user
group posting that recommended the following and made these changes.
BEFORE AFTER
Disk I/O 64 128
Disk Cache 10 80*
Overview Cache 2048 4000
Manual Punch Short Long
The Paris manual says that Minimum and Preferred Memory Settings for Paris
be increased by 1200k for every MB that the Disk Cache is increased. Since
I had increased the Disk Cache from 10 to 80MB (an increase of 70MB) that
meant 1200k x 70 = 84000k. But rather than adding that to my previous minimum
and preferred settings of 62998, I added it to the recommended minimum and
preferred settings of 5098 and ended up at 89098 for both minimum and preferred,
i.e.
BEFORE AFTER
Minimum 62988 89098
Preferred 62988 89098
Now the bad news: After closing Paris and restarting, I can’t get Paris to
open. Instead, I get a warning saying there’s insufficient memory and that
clearing the Undo buffer might help. Of course, because Paris doesn’t open
I can’t unclear the Undo buffer. And because Paris isn’t opening, I can’t
revert or tweak Paris’ Disk I/O, Disk Cache, and Overview Cache settings,
either.
I tried enlarging the Minimum and Preferred settings—that didn’t help. I
tried setting my Mac’s Memory Control Panel to its largest size (32736k).
I restarted after each adjustment, but neither one helped. Paris still won’t
open.
Does anyone know what I should try next? Is there a way to get into the Paris
configuration settings when Paris is not opening?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. (And please don’t tell me I’m an
idiot—I’m already fully aware of that.)
Many thanks,
Richard
