Re: MiKTeX 2.9 Configuration file

Dear Ulrike,

thank you for the information, but sorry, on my computer this doesn't work. I have installed the actual portable branch of MiKTeX 2.9.

After your command, an editor pops up with the file '../miktex/config/pdflatex.ini'. The content of the file is not a capacity definition
but search pathes and those things. I edit this file with the additional lines 'dest-names-size=1000000' and 'extra_mem_top=1000000'.
After entering 'initexmf --dump=pdflatex' and starting my test file with 'pdftex "&pdflatex" test' or 'pdflatex test' I found
no changes of the capacities in the log file.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You can run on the command line e.g.

initexmf --edit-config-file pdflatex

This will open a local version of the relevant ini-file. You can add
your values there. Then recreate the formats.

You must do this for every format (latex, lualatex, pdflatex etc)
where you want to change the values.
