Comments:
(1) It would be simpler if the configuration section of qjide.py were moved to
a separate file, say qjide.conf, that qjide.py reads in. And the distribution
should include a sample version, say qjide.conftemplate, that the user copies
and edits if needed. That way, when one replaces an existing qjide folder with
the one from an updated release, his existing J configuration settings don't
get overridden (which is what happens now).
(2) It's awkward to have to navigate first to the qjide directory before
executing, or else include the full path in, the "python qjide.py" command.
E.g., in my situation the path to type is the long:
/Volumes/MacHD/Applications/Programming/J/qjide
Yes, one can modify the PATH, but I sure hate to add yet another search
directory there.
So . . .
(3) Why not a binary executable that takes care of all this? Just like
jqt801.app or jhs801.app or jcon801.app !
(4) Which raises the question for me: just what qjide.app and qjide.command (or
qjide.sh) actually do (under Mac OS X)?
(5) I see that qjide.command consists of just:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/python `dirname "$0"`/qjide.py
But even though I'm in the qjide directory, I can't get qjide.command to
execute:
./qjide.command
-bash: ./qjide.command: Permission denied
sudo ./qjide.command
sudo: ./qjide.command: command not found
