Hello, You can use the "open" shell utility, like this: open -a /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app /path/to/file.xml To create an alias, use "open -e /Users/your_user_name/.bash_profile" to start editing the .bash_profile file with TextEdit, and then add the line: alias oxy='open -a /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app ' Make sure you preserve the space after the ".app". You must restart the Terminal application before trying it out. Cheers, Dan Robert Koberg wrote:
Hi,
I am looking for a simple way to open a file in a running oxygen app. have found that I can open a file in a running instance of oxygen like so:
$ /Applications/oxygen/Oxygen.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub /path/to/file.xml
I tried to create a soft link the JavaApplicationStub in my home dir, but the system does not recognize it as a file. Is there some way I can alias the longish path so I can do something like (while in my home dir):
$ oxy /path/to/file.xml
Is there a better/easier way?
thanks for any tips, -Rob _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list oXygen-user@oxygenxml.com http://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user
