hi, my understanding is that Java does not use the native OS X operations for Open/Save dialogs. so, while there are several ways to address default Open/Save directories in native OSX apps, I believe you have to handle it from within a Java app. =( my solution has been to write a prefs file to the user's home dir, and to use java.util.prefs: <http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/prefs/package-summary.html> but again, this is developer-side implementation, and requires that you either add code to the Jmol source or write a simple launcher app. sorry that is not really much help, Eric! tim >> >> >> Message: 2 >> Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 17:57:47 -0500 >> From: Eric Martz <[email protected]> >> Subject: [Jmol-users] Jmol.app default dir in OS X? >> To: [email protected] >> Message-ID: <[email protected]> >> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed >> >> Could someone please explain to me how, in OS X (I am using leopard), >> to most easily set the Jmol.app default directory?
