Hi all, I was irritated by the annoying "Verifying Archive" window that always opens when I try to run a .shy file on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Linux.
So I created a "runshoes.sh" file with these 2 lines: #!/bin/sh /home/me/Programs/shoes2.run --nox11 $1 After changing the "Open With" in the "Preferences" of the .shy file, all .shy files do now open directly without the annoying "Verifying Archive" window. I wonder if the "--nox11" parameter could be made a default? Also I noticed that most shoes apps at the shoebox end in .rb This probably is because right now shoes is used by programmers only, who already have ruby installed. However it stops further success of shoes, which would be a pity. I would like shoes to run OS independent ruby "programs". Which unfortunately right now is not what we have because executing .shy file is totally different from handling all other executables. (Cannot talk about Windows, cause I do not have Windows installed anymore.) Does the development go into a direction that is more common, means "What people already know"? Thanks, Jan
