The Finder is just like any other application, and thus gets only as much
memory as specified in it's get-info box...

Two solutions: Set the Finder's MultiFinder memory higher by using "Get
Info..." on the Finder in the System Folder (intersting point: The finder
is really an application with a special type, but unlike other applications,
it's SIZE resource can be get-info changed while it is running).  Restart the
machine and rebuild the desktop.

Other: Only rebuild the desktop w/o running multifinder... You really shouldn't
have to rebuild the desktop very often (I rebuild about once a month simply
because I have a lot of stuff move through and the desktop gets a tad bit
large)...  This shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience.


Notes:

It might be a good idea to kick up the finder's partition a little bit anywyay;
I have had it refuse to copy files because of lack of memory...  During
normal operation, the Finder shouldn't need much memory, though.

Apple:

When will the support for the new multifinder Temp calls be implimented in
this very set of situations (copying, rebuild)?  Next versions of
Finder?   Though so... :-)

hope this helps...
