title: I can't edit studio.exe file in Android Studio 1.3
body: <p>I'm running Android Studio 1.3 (I think it was the latest version) in a 4GB RAM pc, I've searched about how to make Android Studio take less memory so that I can run it better in my low spec pc, so far I've found the following questions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19265819/android-studio-is-very-slow">Android Studio is very slow</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27176353/android-studio-takes-too-much-memory">Android studio takes too much memory</a></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In those question people suggested to low the memory value in the <code>Xmx</code> attribute  from <code>750m</code> to <code>256m</code> in the studio.exe vmoptions file the folder <code>/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/bin/studio.vmoptions</code> I looked in the offcial documentation here: <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/tech-docs/configuration" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/tools/tech-docs/configuration</a> and there it says that is not recomended to edit those files, they advice to create a custom file, but I don't know how to do this. </p>
  
  <p>Questions:</p>
  
  <p>1) Should I create a whatever.exe vmoptions file in that folder with the change? and what should I do with the original file? and how android studio would know to read from my custom file instead of the original file.</p>
  
  <p>2) In the official documentation says that edit that file but it says that that file is in this path <code>%USERPROFILE%\.{FOLDER_NAME}\studio.exe.vmoptions and/or %USERPROFILE%\.{FOLDER_NAME}\studio64.exe.vmoptions</code> but I can't find the file in that path, instead I founded in this path <code>/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/bin/studio.vmoptions</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What I did before asking:</p>
  
  <p>Before asking i tried to edit this file <code>/Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/bin/studio.vmoptions</code> but it says that this file is already opened by another program or that it can't be saved.</p>
  
  <p>I did this with android studio closed and I pretty sure that this file it's not opened by another program.</p>
