I must preface this question with the following information:
This problem only occurs when my application is wrapped with TclApp
I understand that when wrapping a Tcl program, one must lappend to the auto_path the location of the directory the program needs to look for files if it is not already wrapped in the internal file system. That is what I have done, but my code only works for tk_getOpenFile, not tk_getSaveFile. Rather than opening the save dialogue in the specified directory, it opens it in My Documents.
Here is essentially what I'm doing:
set root [file dirname [info script]];
if {$iswrapped} {
lappend auto_path "$root/../../../../myFolder";
set target_dir "$root/../../../../myFolder";
}
set filename [tk_getSaveFile -initialdir $target_dir -title "Save As"];
I've made sure this isn't an issue with Windows (where it saves the dialogue open location after saving/opening the first time there with the program.) When I run my program for the first time on a brand new system, tk_getSaveFile opens in My Documents, whereas tk_getOpenFile opens in the correct folder, 'myFolder.'
Any ideas?
Edit:
I now noticed a very strange issue occuring as well and I suspect it might be related. Now, whenever I save a file in any child directory under C:\, I can only see the file through my program's open and save dialogues. If I navigate to the same location in the Windows Explorer, there files are not only not visible, but not there at all! What is going on here?
Edit:
My program had to be run with administrator privileges - that's why I got that really strange error (the second one.)

I'm new to octave, and want to run a few commands on startup automatically every time it opens.
I typed "help startup" and saw "Octave uses the file ".octaverc". I did a bit of searching online at https://www.math.utah.edu/docs/info/octave_4.html, and saw the .octaverc file should be in the following path:
OCTAVE_HOME/lib/octave/VERSION/startup/octaverc
PROBLEM:
In that directory I don't have a startup folder, only "oct" and "site". I do see hidden files, which was my first thought since the file begins with "." character. So I then used Agent Ransack in the directory, and still nothing came up.
QUESTION:
1) Do I have to make the startup folder and octaverc file myself?
2) If so, does one, both or none have to be hidden?
3) Can it be a txt file, or does it have a special extension?
4) Do I just type the commands straight into the file or is there special formatting?
NOTE:
In case I'm going about this the wrong way, there are the operations I'd like to have run on startup:
PS1('>> '), addpath('D:\Users\Me\Desktop'), clc
Thanks ahead of time for the help!!
Possible locations (and their differences) for octaverc files are specified in the documentation.
In short, these are, from more general to specific:
octave-home/share/octave/site/m/startup/octaverc (most generic, for entire system)
octave-home/share/octave/version/m/startup/octaverc (to cover for more than one octave versions installed on the system, possibly requiring different startup scripts)
~/.octaverc (where ~ is unix-speak for a user's home directory -- covering for user-specific startup files)
.octaverc files in any directory, creating specific startup conditions for specific directories
octaverc files are effectively simple script files that are executed from most generic to most specific each time octave starts. Therefore, in the presence of conflicting commands, the more specific file can effectively be used to override the more generic behaviour.
Octave also supports (but does not recommend) the use of the startup.m file, for matlab compatibility.
You might also want to check out pathdef and savepath as well.
As a more general tip, if you ever want to search for a specific keyword from the documentation (e.g. octaverc), you can type this kind of search query in duckduckgo (or google):
octaverc site:https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/
(or just download the documentation as pdf and search the pdf)
Found the solution, the file was in the following path:
OCTAVE_HOME/share/octave/site/m/startup
to find out where OCTAVE_HOME is for you, just type "OCTAVE_HOME" into your Octave command line window.
ANSWERS:
1) You do not have to make a startup octaverc file yourself
2) The file is actually not hidden, so it should be easy to find given you're looking in the right place.
3) The file doesn't have an extension. It's just octaverc.
4) Under the last line of the existing file, you can just append commands as you would type them at the Octave command line window.
the last(7.3.0) octave version placed HERE:/ does not find the THERE:/openEMS/matlab directory even it is already loaded with octaverc or addpath. It keeps looking into the work dir where openEMS is not placed and does not recognize, for instance, the 'physical_constants.m' file.
The problem
In PhpStorm I have a style.css- and a app.js-file that I have to upload to a server over and over again. I'm trying to automate it.
They're compiled by Webpack, so they are generated/compiled. Which means that I can't simply use the 'Tools' >> 'Deployment' >> 'Upload to...' (since that file isn't and won't every be open).
What I currently do
At the moment, every time I want to see the changed I've done, then I do this (for each file):
Navigate to the files in the file-tree (using the mouse)
Select it
The I've set up a shortcut for Main menu >> Tools >> Deployment >> Upload to..., where-after I select the server I want to upload to.
I do this approximately 100+ times per day.
The ideal solution
The ideal solution would be, that if I pressed a shortcut like CMD + Option + Shift + G
That it then uploaded a selection of files (a scope?) to a predefined remote server.
Solution attempts
Open and upload.
Changing to those files (using CMD + p) and then uploading them (once they're open). But the files are generated, which means that it takes PhpStorm a couple of seconds to render the content (which is necessary before I can do anything with the file) - so that's not faster.
Macro.
Recording a macro, uploading the two files, looking like this:
If I go to the menu and trigger the Macro, then it works. So far so good.
But if I assign a shortcut key and trigger that shortcut while in a file, then it shows me this:
And if I press '1' (for it to upload to number 1 on the list), then it uploads the file that I'm currently in(!?), and not the two files from my macro.
I've tried several different shortcuts (to rule out some kind of keyboard-shortcut-clash):
CMD + Option + CTRL + 0
CMD + Shift 0
CMD + ;
... Same result.
And the PhpStorm Macro's doesn't seem to give me that many options anyways.
Keyboard Maestro.
I've tried doing it using Keyboard Maestro.
But I can't get it setup right. Because if it can't find the folders (if they're off-screen or if I'm in a different project and forgot to adjust they shortcuts), then it blasts through the rest of the recorded actions, resulting in chaos. Ideally it should stop, if it can't find the file on the screen.
Update1 - External program
Even if it's not possible to do in PhpStorm, - are there then another program that I could achieve this with?
Update2 - Automatic Deployment in PhpStorm
I've previously used this, - but I've had happen a few times that I started sync'ing waaaay to many files, overwriting critical core files. It seems smart, but can possibly tear down walls if I've forgotten to define an ignore properly.
I wish there was an 'Automatic Deployment for theses files'-function.
Update3 - File Watchers
I looked into file-watchers ( recommendation from #LazyOne ). Based on this forum thread, then file watchers cannot be used to upload files.
It is possible to accomplish it using external program scp (Secure Copy Protocol):
Steps:
1. Create a Scope (for compiled files app.js and style.css)
2. Create a Custom File Watcher with scp over that Scope
Start with Scope:
Create a Local Scope with name scp files for your compiled files directory (I will assume that your webpack compiles into dist directory):
Then, to add dist directory into Scope, select that folder and click on Include Recursively. Apply and Move to File Watchers
Create a custom template for File Watcher:
Choose a Name
Choose File type as Any
Choose Scope as scp files(created earlier)
Choose Program as scp
Choose Arguments as $FileName$ REMOTE_USER#REMOTE_HOST:/REMOTE_DIR_PATH/$FileName$
Choose Working directory as $FileDir$
That's it, basically what we have done is every time when a file in that scope changes, that file is copied with scp to the remote server to the corresponding path.
Voila. Apply Everything and recompile your project and you will see that everything is uploaded to the server.
(I assumed that you have already set up your ssh client; Generated public/private keys; Added a public key in your remote server; And, know ssh credentials to connect to your remote server)
I figured this out myself. I posted the answer here.
The two questions are kind of similar but not identical.
This way I found is also not the best, since it stores the server password in clean text. So I'll leave the question open, in case someone can come up with a better way to achieve this.
I'm running Windows 8. I have a file named "test.tcl".
If I open a shell, type "wish", then 2 windows open. In one of them, I can type Tcl code and open the file test.tcl. If I open this file, its code is executed.
If I double click on test.tcl to open the file with "Wish Application", then 1 blank window open, and nothing happens.
Do you know why please?
On Windows, Wish is built as a GUI-only application; it has no real standard output available. Tk fakes one for you though; just put this in your script to show the fake console:
console show
The fake console shows up by default when you launch without a script file, but launching with a script file doesn't show it (so your script file can implement an application, of course).
This can catch people out when they produce a lot of output on stdout. Tk may well be keeping it all faithfully just in case the code does console show later on, though it looks and smells a lot like a memory leak if you're not prepared for it…
I've a file in a folder and I don't know anything about this file (how it's generated and updated) because it comes from an application running on my system of which I don't have the source code.
The file format is clearly json and I successfully created an hard link to it (using the shell command ln file hardLinkToFile) and placed it on another directory.
At this point I check the "2" files and they are exactly the same as expected, but when I perform an action in the application that cause an update of the original file the hard link doesn't get updated.
Any idea on how I can solve this problem?
UPDATE: As pointed out by both Vlad Lazarenko and mvds the file probably get deleted and a new one is created, is there something I can do to obtain a solution equivalent to the hard-link one I thought initially about?
If a hard link is not getting updated, it means that application is removing the old file and creates a new one. Thus, you still have a hard copy of the previous file, but new file has a totally different inode, though path is still the same. You can verify it simply by changing the content of that file yourself - the link should get updated.
I am getting the same behavior in TextEdit, but not in TextMate. I would suspect this is due to the revision control built in to OS X Lions document architecture. TextEdit uses versioning, while TextMate does not. Most likely this function replaces the file instead of changing it, as described by #Vlad Lazarenko.
#Vlad and Francesco. It's really in this way. I verified that vi leaves the inode unchanged and the src and dest file are both changed, while e.g. the kate editor doesn't and I was getting mad to understand why the changes I made in the src file weren't also in the dest file.
You can easily check this with the command ls -li srcfile destfile before editing one of them with each editor I mentioned.
By the way it's not nice that the hard link are application dependent
I guess it is a bit too late...
Anyways, accidentally I found that, if you change the default app for the file, the hard link gets separated from original file. Even if you click on change all and do not relate to that specific file.
I want to run a command in the post build event of a project, if i do C:\temp\Client.exe it works fine but If my project is in the thumb drive and change the command to G:\temp\Client.exe it looks like it doesnt like the path and exit with code 9009. what command do i need if the exe is in different path than C drive. Thankx
From the question and subsequent comment it looks that drive letter keeps changing. It is possible in post-build section check if the file exist before call it.
For debugging you can use something like
f:
Dir
And view output window after the build.
