I already suggested using a path name as the sign that the restart function is being used. If the user provides a relative path, it could be relative to the CSV file or to the launch directory. Otherwise, use the absolute path. To restart from the start, on just has to delete the file (or change/remove the path name). > We never use distributed testing, thus I am fine if someone more > experienced in the area would clarify if that is important or not. > >>"Start form line" property is no longer effective once you have successfully >>used "remember position". > > That is why I suggest _not_ having separate "remember position" > checkbox, but "remember position" _value_ of "Start from line" > property.
