instead:
defaults write io.qz.qz-tray QZ_OPTS -string "-Xmx4096m"`
... and to revert:
defaults delete io.qz.qz-tray QZ_OPTS
💡 For custom branded (white-label) customers, this command will change to
defaults write <BUNDLE_ID>
.
... where<BUNDLE_ID>
is the value returned fromjava -jar /Applications/MyApp.app/my-app.jar --bundleid
