Bug 615 seems to have reappeared. A few versions ago (maybe 3-4 weeks ago?) I was still able to change the memory allocated to Fiji. Now I can't (I have 16GB, my current limit is 8GB, can't be increased). Synopsis is exactly the same as bug 615 <http://fiji.sc/bugzilla/﷒0﷓>
Thanks

forgot to mention: doing
  /Applications/Fiji.app/Contents/MacOS/ImageJ-macosx --mem=12g
works perfectly

I cannot reproduce this on my OS X 10.9 system. I am able to increase Fiji's memory limit up to 7000 MB (I have 8 GB of physical RAM).

I notice that your "Information about the version of each plugin" reads merely "imagej.updater.core.FilesCollection" which looks like a transient bug in the updater. This unfortunately prevents us from knowing exactly what the state of your system is.

Can you please try updating your Fiji to the latest version and see if the problem persists? And if so, run Help>Report a Bug and copy/paste the extra information into another comment here?

Thank you.
