Re: Catgod pretender viewer for Windows now with G
Neither Gandalfs first suggestion
catgod.exe "d:\temp\try this out\savedgames\newlords\*.2h"
nor Peters idea
catgod.exe 'd:\temp\try this out\savedgames\newlords\*.2h'
work from the command line on my system (W2k).
Maybe someone could try on XP etc and let me know, but I don't expect them to behave differently at all.
Gandalf, maybe you could try out the linux (command line) version of catgod on your machine and let me know how it behaves if fed with such a file path ? Thanks!
Maybe, just maybe, I get something like a terminal gui done especially for you. It's very much "maybe" because the ncurses equivalent for Tcl/Tk, the term:: functions in Tcllib, are not yet implemented ...
catgod.exe d:\temp\try_th~1\savedgames\newlords\*.2h'
DOES work - but only if there's no 'space' within the first 6 characters.
As I have a hard time implementing the command line syntax anyway - ", ', \ and / are part of the Tcl/Tk syntax - and shortening the path to "someth~1" would be a nightmare (at least for me), I'll wait for a word from Dave or Peter if there's anything that can be done within catgod itself to get this ironed out.
If not, I think I'll resort to copying the pretender files over and scanning them from a temp/subdirectory ...
Btw., I'm still taking suggestions what functions catgodGUI could/should implement ... .
