[Jalview-discuss] -props argument

[Balazs Laurenczy]

Hi all,

I wonder if any of you use the "-props" argument for the .jnlp file ?
I'm actually trying to use it, but the file given in argument isn't used by jalview!

I actually want the user to download a jnlp file with a joined "jalview_properties" file containing my customized properties.
So I provide a zip file containing both the jnlp file and the properties file which are then in the same directory.
I use the folowing code :

<argument>-props</argument>
<argument>jalview_properties</argument>

But when launching the .jnlp file, the properties aren't used.

Moreover, I tried different names for the properties file and after launching the jnlp (and seeing properties not set like I want), jalview creates a properties file in my home (like when no properties file is provided) but with the same custom name as my properties file.

Can any of you tell me what I am doing wrong ? Is this a bug ?
Is anyone using successfully the "-props" argument ?

I would also find nice if it could be a URL, like for the other inputs of jalview.


Cheers,
