System.OutOfMemoryException when importing .lirev package

Post by Infoverge »

I am trying to import a large Contributor review package into Lingo and Lingo keeps crashing with a System.OutOfMemoryException error. This is repeatable on another machine. Does anyone get this error too?

I had the same problem before when importing a huge XML file. In my case I was able to split the file in two and import each half independently.

I think that the problem ultimately comes down to Lingo being a 32-bit application, so it only has access to 4 GB of RAM, no matter how much total RAM is available. Hopefully Lingo will follow Flare and go to 64-bit in the next version, which might well solve this issue.
