Low on Memory?! Cant save!
Hi Peter and all.
I have conducted a few severe tests after the SL update 2. My config is Win7, 64k, 16 Gb. Test spec's. Before update I could build upto 150-180 slides, including multiple layers reaching 230 Mb and after publishing reducing to 45 Mb without "cant save memory" problem. Above this level I had to break my project into pieces and allowing the client only to run a training consisting out of 2 or 3 seperate downloads on their iPads. This obviously gives a less professional look.
After installing SL update 2 I fired up one of the projects and imported the two other seperate part and this is what happened:
- Importing 2 other projects of each 230 Mb went without any problem
- The first project file of 230 Mb did not increase substantially, just a few Mb. One would expect it to triple.
- Editting within the project is no problem
- Saving the whole project (now consisting of over 400 slides (and layers) went with out error messages.
- Strangely enough SL tells you that it is saving (in my case 180) slides, the original number of slides of part 1.
- The output of the whole projects remains around the 45 Mb. Also strange as, despite importing two big parts, the output remeained the same.
And last but not least. Every item in the output file worked and is accessible with speed.
My preliminary conclusion is:
- Save error message has gone
- Projectfile does not increase - strange, but welcomed
- Output file did not increase - strange but also welcomed.
And to the Articulate staff I would like to say:
Thank you VERY much for your effort, you have done a great job!
And all the best for the New Year to come!
Regards,
John
