setting backup directory???
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 4 March, 2004 - 09:29
Hello, I use jEdit with great success on my Creative Muvo memory stick (128MB). I hoping someone could give me a quick way to point jEdit's backup directory to a directory on the memory stick, regardless of the drive path (as the usb stick can PnP with any PC/drive letter). So I have created a valid backup path like: :files\japps\jedit\workbkups and I essentially want to have jEdit see "${JEDIT_HOME}\workbups" as the backup path to send all backups there... but I can't figure out how to do it....is there a simple beanshell script someone can offer to load at runtime to set the parameter, or some other solution? thnx, jEdit is very cool. technx

Hi,
I've got my Jedit 4.2 runninf off my 1Gb memory stick together with Java 1.5 (also on the memory stick)
If you want to set the directories correctly just start jedit with the -settings=DIRECTORY\TO\WHEREVER.
Obviously you want to do this dynamically as the drive letter changes depending on the machine you put your memory stick in.
I got it all running smoothly by using a small batch script to start Jedit. No need for bean scripts or any such like. Just a plain old Windows DOS batch script!
