In my job I do some fairly large and (overly?) complex documents some
of which contain over 100 complex plots (from the spreadsheet), twice
that many tables, indices, appendices, etc. ad nauseum, the largest
running to about a thousand pages.
Before anybody says it, yes, this is a good choice for creating a
master doc - and one of these days when the rush is over (about 2050, I
expect) I'll get around to doing it that way :-) [when I eventually do
that I'll also have to export to a ".doc" format for corporate deadhead
compliance, although they'll never look beyond the pdf files ... sigh
... wonder whether that still works using a master doc?]
However, for now the memory limitation on the graphics cache
(Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org>Memory>Graphics Cache>Use for
OpenOffice.org.) is a problem.
The upper limit is 256 MB.
I would really like to be able to raise this - I have machines
available with up to 4GB of memory, so "using up all the avilable
memory" is not an issue.
Short of doing the build from scratch and changing it in the source, is
there any way to get around this one? (I haven't tried that for long
time -- 1.3 or .4 dot something, IIRC -- but I have a real monster
coming up which will be ... a challenge at best).
For a future release I would really love to see a feature - set the
default max at 256 MB, but let the user raise it if he checks a "Yes, I
really know what I'm doing" box or some such.
