[Rails-users] my.properties usage

[Justin R. <jus...@gm...>]

I've tried editing the my.properties file in my rails folder (the
folder containing rails.sh and rails-1.2.2.jar) and have used the
NEXT_PLAYER suffix as follows:

save.filename.suffix=NEXT_PLAYER

Still, my saves to not do this.

Digging further, I used an archive utility to look inside the .jar
file and noticed another my.properties file within the jar. I edited
this file and updated the jar and then got the result I was looking
for.

Is it intended that the my.properties file in the application folder
is ignored? If so, one would obviously question why it exists there at
all, so I'm guessing the expected behavior is that the app folder file
should override what is in the jar at runtime or something.

If I can provide any more details information to help with the issue,
just ask. Not sure what would be of use at this point except my
system.

I'm running karmic koala ubuntu on i686 smp.
