Re: [ jEdit-users ] jedit & cygwin

[Randall R S. <rrs...@cr...>]

Dmitry,

I created this alias in Cygwin BASH:

alias je='/c/Apps/jEdit\ 4.0.3/jedit'


When I invoke "je" on a file in the current directory, my existing jEdit is 
brought to the front and the specified file opened.

Likewise, when jEdit is not already running, it's launched and the 
specified file is opened (along with all those that were open when I last 
quit jEdit, as I have jEdit configured to do).

I take it that's what you want to happen, so I don't know why it isn't 
working for you.


I've attached a screen capture of my jEdit Launcher window. Perhaps 
something there (in comparison to your own) will suggest the problem.

I know my way around Cygwin pretty well, so if you're not able to make this 
work, contact me directly and I'll try to help you sort it out. We can 
report the final outcome back here, sparing the list any tedious details 
that arise along the way.
