Re: [EXTERNAL] Phoebus settings.ini - Path to predefined Colors and Fonts

["Kasemir, Kay via Tech-talk" <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

You can try “file:…” URL syntax:

 

    org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=file:///Program%20Files/mesa-phoebus-win/app/mesa_color.def

 

That should work, but now you rely on /Program Files/mesa-phoebus-win/… as the install location.

 

If you prefer to use the install location from the system property,

 

   org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=$(phoebus.install)/mesa_color.def

then unfortunately that might expand into this and fail because of the space:

 

   org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=file:///Program Files/mesa-phoebus-win/app/mesa_color.def

 

Maybe you can put something clever into your launcher *.bat file:

Locate the install location, turn that into a proper “file://with_%20_for_spaces”, then start phoebus with that install location?

 

  @java -Dphoebus.install=…

Hi!

Have you tried "8.3 alias" for "Program Files" - "progra~1"?  I.e.

org.csstudio.display.builder.model/color_files=C:/progra~1/mesa-phoebus-win/app/mesa_color.def
org.csstudio.display.builder.model/font_files=C:/progra~1/mesa-phoebus-win/app/mesa_font.def
