Bonobo, thanks so much. I'm perfectly happy with the ./kgs command line, but an icon would be a nice bonus.

I have such an app (although I don't know how to make one from scratch, it shouldn't be too difficult to do). It simply runs a script to start the CGoban jar. And I can associate .sgf files so that I can just click on them to auto start the application and load the game.
For a while, it worked pretty well with the jnlp and java webstart (in order to keep the cgoban.jar auto updating from the server), but occasionally the javaws cache would get corrupted, so I just point the script to a jar instead.
I got it from a former forum member (and I can't recall his name at the moment). I searched the posts, and no luck yet. It may have been on the old forum, godiscussions.
original (/Applications/CGoban_script.app/Contents/Resources/script)
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$2" ]; then
javaws -Xnosplash -open "$2" http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
else
javaws -Xnosplash http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
fi
I think I added the "open" sgf option to his original script (I don't recall anymore)
or alternately just the jar that you download and save locally yourself.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$2" ]; then
java -jar /Users/xedover/cgoban/cgoban.jar "$2"
else
java -jar /Users/xedover/cgoban/cgoban.jar
fi
I even added logging to my script to help with debugging when things go wrong (not shown here)

Adrian Petrescu is who I was thinking of. He used a different nick on GoDiscussions

Hey Ed, if you don't mind making the script into an app in order to get the icon "appify.sh" might suit you:

I upgraded to osx Maveric and it seems that it does not work any more. I downloaded and installed both jre and jdk(terminal required it) version 7.45. Any observations?

I have the same problem. I upgraded to Maverick also. Tried to run "java -jar cgoban-nfa.jar" in terminal. Installed the jdk, as per terminal request. The app ran, but no sound.
Any ideas, all you clever people?

There are different versions of Java. By default, your OS wants to use the latest version. But different versions of Java can live happily alongside each other -- so you don't have to downgrade to use an older version -- you have have and use multiple versions.
to see which version you are using (assuming you know where you installed it)
$ /path/to/my/copy/java -version
KGS doesn't like java version 7. Use version 6 or older.

xed_over, you are well above me here. I need Mac KGS for non-techies.
So, how do I find old versions of java? Assuming there are multiple versions, which one should I used? And how do I make KGS use the older version? And how do I make sure that only KGS uses it, assuming there are safety issues?
How do I find where my current version is installed? I used the default and spotlight isn't helping. It doesn't seem to be in applications or utilities folders. Anyway, I am confident it is 7, because there are no clicks. So does it matter?
And if you don't have the inclination to answer these, that is completely understandable. Thanks anyway.
