Hi
I get the following error message when running a report
ERROR! The report ran out of memory.
You can try to do the following things:
* Increase the memory limit for Ancestris
* Build a smaller tree
* Choose SVG output (requires the least memory)
Where should I increase the memory limit
hereafter my config
Version Ancestris : 0.7.0.3902
Java : 1.7.0_40-b43 - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\jre
Système: Windows 8 - 6.2
Thanks

Hello,
It depends ;-)
I run Linux and Ancestris beta 0.8, so the file is named "ancestris.conf", and you can find it (but don't forget I run Linux), under .ancestris/trunk/etc
This is what I have in that file :
###properties written ancestris
default_mac_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/${APPNAME}/trunk"
jdkhome="/usr/local/jdk"
default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/trunk"
default_options="-J-Xms96m --branding ancestris -J-Xmx768m --laf Metal --locale fr"
Maybe you can find it in another location. Try to find a file named "ancestris.conf". Hope that helps. Francois

I run Window 7 and Ancestris 0.7, so the file is named "ancestris.conf", and I find it , under C:\Users\monIdentifiant\AppData\Roaming\.ancestris\0.7\etc
AppData is a hidden folder
This is what I have in that file :
###properties written ancestris
default_mac_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/${APPNAME}/0.7"
default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/0.7"
default_options="-J-Xms96m --branding ancestris -J-Xmx768m"

Hello arvennes & jmb, thanks for your updates
yes on my Windows 8 I've located the ancestris.conf file in the path C:\Users\monIdentifiant\AppData\Roaming\.ancestris\0.7\etc and hereafter is what I have in the file
default_mac_userdir="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/${APPNAME}/0.7"
default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/0.7"
default_options="-J-Xms96m --branding ancestris -J-Xmx768m --locale fr"
I have increased the values up to "-J-Xms512m and -J-Xmx2048m" without any positive effects, I'm still getting the error message
Of course if running a report on a smaller tree everything's fine
So what's your idea / recommendation ?

How many individuals/families do you have in your genealogy? I suppose your problem is with the All-in-one chart report? I wrote yesterday a message to its author asking him about a possible fix for that. If I have a reply, i will forward it to you.
Try a svg output too. It uses less memory.
Something else: give Ancestris 0.8 beta a try and run the report. Maybe you could have a better result. Francois

Yes correct, the All-in-one chart report is the faulty one and not even running it on the whole tree, it fails on a branch with roughly 500 individuals, and you are right the same report works fine with a svg output.
I'll give Ancestris 0.8 beta a try :-)
Thanks

Hi
I've installed the Ancestris beta 0.8 into a different directory than the 0.7 ( want to keep 0.7) and proceed to19 updates and plugins installation, including of course the All-in-one chart report one and the Ancestris editor :-),
The net is , as you were hoping, the All-in-one chart report is not failing with the "memory limit" error I was facing with the 0.7 version, however the "Ancestris editor" doesn't appear in the "View" tab :-( although it appears in the Tool - Plugin - Installed tab under the name 'Ancestris Standard Editor", :-( , really strange

Hello,
Yes, the "old" ancestris editor is no longer developped, but Dominique is designing a brand new one. Check the plugins available. Francois
