Adjusting the FileMaker Pro cache | 21
Adjusting the FileMaker Pro cache
Because Mac OS X dynamically allocates memory to applications as
needed, there is no way to set a specific amount of memory to allocate to
the FileMaker
Pro application. However, you can adjust the
FileMaker
Pro cache size.
You may want to increase the cache size if you plan to do any of the following:
1 work on a large database file
1 work on several database files at once
1 host database files
1 use a database file that contains many graphics
1 insert a large graphic into a database file
Consider decreasing the cache size if you plan to run several applications at
the same time and you have a limited amount of memory
(RAM) installed.
To change the cache size that FileMaker Pro uses:
1. In FileMaker Pro, choose the FileMaker Pro menu > Preferences and
click the Memory tab.
2. Type a number in the Attempt to set file cache size to box, then click OK.
The next time you start FileMaker Pro, the new cache size is used.
