Category: File Input/Output Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Professeur Mephisto (prof_mephisto) Assigned to: Miguel (migueljmol) Summary: windows shortcut "Start in" is ineffective Initial Comment: In the wiki (http://wiki.jmol.org:81/index.php/Support/Windows#Creating_shortcuts_to_Jmol_application) the way to have the default locationfor "file > open" is ineffective. Whatever the directory, it always use "My Documents". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Professeur Mephisto (prof_mephisto) Date: 2009-01-26 00:03 Message: windows XP sp3 (french version) in a VirtualBox (RAM is 256 Mo). Java is 6.0.110.3. Jmol is 11.6.11. I tried with a shortcut pointing to jmol.bat (I nead to do some other operations before launching Jmol) and with the command-line java -Xmx512m -jar "C:\Program Files\Jmol\Jmol.jar" Each times, the default location is "My Documents" :-( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2009-01-25 13:53 Message: Under what version of Windows? -- Please check again; this works for me. 1) create a Windows Shortcut for Jmol.jar 2) right-click, under Properties, modify the "start in" property However, the wiki might suggest that the standard startup for Jmol be something like: java -Xmx512m -jar "C:\Program Files\Jmol\Jmol.jar" and explain that that gives more memory and more options. That's explained elsewhere in the wiki, but indicating it here might be nice, as it also allows starting with a script. So, for example, one could use: java -Xmx512m -jar "C:\Program Files\Jmol\Jmol.jar" -g500x500 -j "cd c:/temp;background white" (The -j option is new -- for Jmol 11.7, not 11.6. For Jmol 11.6 you have to put the script commands in a file and then refer to that file using the -s option.)
