== Helper for Mac == | |||
I created a little helper to open octave scripts from macs finder in octave GUI editor. I used automater to create an app running a shell script. The shell script looks like this: | |||
#! /bin/zsh | |||
# Add path if needed | |||
path=('/usr/local/bin' $path) | |||
export PATH | |||
# create an editor command for each file on command line | |||
for fi in "$@" | |||
do | |||
occmd+=(edit \'$fi\' ";") | |||
done | |||
# Run octave with files as arguments and edit files. | |||
/usr/local/bin/octave --gui --persist --eval "$occmd" | |||
Save this with automator as "Octave Starter" application. | |||
Select one octave ".m" file and open info window and change "open with" to use "Octave Starter". | |||
After this double clicking an octave file will bring up Octave gui with the file opened in editor. | |||
Hope that helps, Georg -- [[Special:Contributions/78.34.194.225|78.34.194.225]] 09:56, 20 February 2023 (UTC) | |||
