Re: Command Line Switches - revisited
 

all switches seem to be treated as another filename argument, perhaps to the "open" command.

Re: Command Line Switches - revisited
 

I saw an example online of using the open and then putting the filename in single quotes so that
open Dominions3.app -h
would have been
open 'Dominions3.app -h '
or something like that. I couldnt tell what quotes were used whether it as " ' ` or whatever.

Im just curious because this is one of the subjects Im debating wiki/blog/faq or something on Dom3Minions. Some how-to on screenshots, sprites, command switches, backups, saves, restores, alarms, hosting, map making, etc etc

Re: Command Line Switches - revisited
 

Gandalf - good idea! But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. encapsulating the "Dominions3.app -h' (application plus switches within the quotes) doesn't make any difference, which sort of runs counter to *nix standard behavior I guess.

Re: Command Line Switches - revisited
 

Remember, open expects its argument to be a file. If it's an executable file, I guess that's okay, but files don't usually take command-line arguments -- programs do.
You don't need open to run a program; you don't even want it to run a program, unless I'm missing something.

Yesterdays progress file item should be of interest.
17th january
* Version 3.05

16th january
* Universal binary working.
* New spell for Man.

The "Universal Binary" Im guessing refers to this..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary

Be sure to let us know how the new patch works out for you guys.

Well, I'm still running a motorola PowerPC - based Mac. The universal binary won't affect me until I upgrade...but that's still good news!
