I am currently using a template for a building layout. In the template, I have a .PNG file that is the same size as the template. This image is extremely large but gives me good resolution so I wanted to keep it. The .PNG itself is 803 KB and res of 3784x2674. I then have a container overtop of it where I am placing components around the building layout.
My issue is that every time I go to save the template, my designer freezes for so long that I end up killing the Java Web Launcher via task manager and re-opening the designer (without my saved work). the save seems to get caught up at “taking Snapshot of [Overview]” during the template serialization. I see this in the bottom left hand corner of the designer.
My question: Is there any way to increase project parameters to allow for more memory to perform this save? I have increased my RAM outlined here and Ive tried looking in the Java Console, but I am not familiar with Java and havent figured out how to change the logger level above INFO so that I can see why exactly it is hanging up.
Looks like I get this in the designers output console.

It seems like even after updating the ignition.conf file, restarting the gateway, and clearing the Java cache my designer still has 910mb in the bottom right corner. I cannot figure out why it wont increase to the new configuration I set. the server is 64-bit with 32GB ram.
would you recommend a specific install? I was looking at downloading zulu 8.52.0.23 for x86 64-bit. Im not really up to speed on the difference but maybe changing this will initiate the memory increase I am looking for?
You guys should really do a write up on similarly named properties and where to find them. I did a similar run around when trying to figure out the consoles a few months back (Designer Console/Client Console/Wrapper.log). The simple stuff like this makes me want to pull my hair out! Thanks for the heads up @PGriffith !!!
