Is it possible to get rid of the main window when using kgs as a standalone editor?
I just want to use it to quickly open a sgf file, nothing else.

java -jar cgoban.jar -open game.sgf

always bring up the extra main window, which I don't need.

I got some "usage" message which talks about a -nosplash option, but I can't make it work.

edit: not sure how I managed to file that in IGS! If an admin sees this, could you please move to kgs forum? Thanks

-nosplash should work...I'll check it when I get a chance. That's exactly what it is supposed to do.

-Xnosplash keeps the big oracle ad from popping up, but the poster wants the cgoban3 editor to come up without the KGS main window with the six buttons to select what you want to do.

Which, as I said, is exactly what -nosplash is supposed to do.

webstart picked up new version 3.4.15 of the kgs client, but I still can't use that -nosplash option. Does it work for anybody?

-Xnosplash. Works for me for getting rid of the oracle window that pops up.

Oops. The new release had zero changes in cgoban. It was just a server change needed to let android clients into chat rooms. My release system does everything at once, whether it's needed or not, so you got a new client that was exactly like the one you had before. Sorry about that!
