ENGLISH / Re: Ancestris disappeared and other woes

Thank you, Zurga, for your insights.  I am using Ancestris version 10 and the gedcom has about 1200 people.  When I start the program, I have nearly 8 GB of memory available, but I think you are suggesting it is Java's memory allotment (heap?) that may be causing the problem?

I've uninstalled Ancestris and Java.  I reinstalled Java, but used 15 rather than 8.  Then I reinstalled Ancestris.  It starts and runs very smoothly, has not disappeared, but continues to lock up on Preferences.  I've increased Java's heap twice, ulimately to 1GB, but the problem continues.

ENGLISH / Ancestris disappeared and other woes

« on: December 20, 2020, 11:17:52 »

I'm running Big Sur on a 2015 Macbook Pro.  I loaded Ancestris without difficulty and loaded with a gedcom some difficulty.  Everything worked fine as long as I stayed on the main screen, but moving off of that screen - e.g., preferences - completely froze Ancestris.

This morning I found Ancestris has completely disappeared.  The icon is gone, the application is no longer in launchpad or listed in Applications. A search finds some Ancestris files on my HD, but nothing to run it.

Wierd.
