If you want to change the performances of SNAP you can
try to look in the snap.conf file which should be somewhere
in the folder snap was installed (mine is in SNAP/etc/).
to increase the memory snap uses change the -J-Xmx to the value you want.
Yes, well – but there is no entry for the Cache Path in snap.conf, is there?
And the default_userdir entry doesn’t help me either: I changed that to D:\ , where I had moved my user specific .snap directory, but on start SNAP just re-creates the old {HOME}\.snap directory.
And anyway: why can’t I change any settings in the Performance Options? Any edit disables the OK button! That’s a bug, in my book! I mean, even if I let the program Compute the best system parameters, the values are written to the edit fields, but the OK button is disabled. Looks like the program not only doesn’t trust the user, it doesn’t even trust its own judgement…
