Re: [Rails-devel] Opening save files directly

[Jim B. <jim...@ya...>]

Chris,

I might be able to help with the working directory- a Windows user  
told me to use java's "-Duser.dir" argument to set the working  
directory.  (I think that's -Duser.dir=/foo/bar, then- whatever the  
typical java cmd-line syntax is.)  This is working for windows users,  
apparently, but it doesn't work for me on my mac.

Incidentally, to get consistent time stamps in filenames (like GMT  
time- independent of players' local timezones), start up rails like  
this-
     java -Duser.timezone=UTC -jar rails-1.0.6.jar
That way, all timestamps will be in UTC format, and consistent.

Like you, I would also like to know how to associate the file type to  
load java/rails- so I can just 'doubleclick' on someone's saved move.   
It would be a little different windows vs mac, I guess, since it's  
batch args to the java cmd line in either case (the association is to  
java, I assume).
