RE: [ jEdit-users ] Problem of jEdit on Windows

[Jingzhao Ou <ja...@ya...>]

Hi, Eric,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I moved all my files to a directory C:/MyDocuments
and solved the problem. I like jEdit a lot so that I am willing to do so.
However, in order for jEdit to be even better on Windows, I really hope that
there are better solutions to this problem. Is it possible to change the
working directory of jEdit according to the working buffer?

It seems that Java doesn't have directly support for this. But I wonder if it
is possible to do some tricks using things such as
java.lang.System.setProperty("user.dir", "buffer_directory") to do it
indirectly. 

Best regards,
Jingzhao
