Out of memory error when trying to save large files in Studio 2014:

When I edit very large Xliff files in a project - more then 20 MB - I cannot save my changes to the file. Instead, I get an "out of memory" error. I have changed the setting limiting the Xliff file size, to 40 MB, but the problem persists.
I have closed down all other application on the computer and watched memory usage in Task Manager. Studio issues the error when usind anything between 500 MB and 1 GB memory and when there is well over 2 GB memory available in the system.

Is there any solution or workaround to this? So far, the only workaround was that my contractors sent me split files, which of course is not something they want to do very often ...

  • The change you've done for the files on your system does not affect any files created elsewhere. So in fact you would need to ask your contractor to change this setting prior to creating the SDLXLIFF file. However, you would need to lower the limit of the embedded file size in SDLXLIFF to zero IMO to make it more feasible for your system.
    As personally I do not have such error messages on any of my systems, the question appears, which system do you use? Is this a Windows XP computer with 32 bit OS? If so, I'm afraid you need a new one... Same applies to mainly any other OS with 32 bit, as such systems will not be able to deal with huge files.
