-w,--world <arg>    path to legends.xml or archive

Important Note

• some features require the legends_plus.xml from dfhack (run 'exportlegends info')

OutOfMemoryError

• some legends export can be very large (over 400MB) and require approx twice the amount of memory when loaded
• if you get an OutOfMemoryError displayed in the console you can manually increase the amount of memory legends browser gets assigned
• to do so create an file called LegendsBrowser-X.X.X.l4j.ini (the name of your .exe where you replace the ending with .l4j.ini)
• open that file in an editor and insert -Xmx1024M (you can change the numbers to set the amount of memory you want to assign)

• Development is still in a very early stage, so you may find bugs
