Chris, If it isn't included in the jar file (IMO it should be), you can find it at the top level in the CVS source on sourceforge.net. If Rails can't find it after you have installed it, you can add the following option to the rails.bat startup script, immediately after java: -Dconfigfile=<path>/my.properties Erik. _____ From: Chris Shaffer [mailto:chr...@gm...] Sent: Friday 06 November 2009 06:05 To: Development list for Rails: an 18xx game Subject: Re: [Rails-devel] Opening save files directly Where would one find the my.properties file?

After several trials, I was able to get Rails to start with that switch in place, but it always starts out in "My Documents," regardless of what directory I specify for user.dir. Any suggestions? Also, is this something I should submit as a formal enhancement request? -- Chris Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

(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). - jim On Nov 5, 2009, at 10:14 AM, Chris Shaffer wrote: > Is there any way to associate the .rails extension with the program, > so you can open a save file directly?
