Hello, I'm having some problems getting Electric to work properly under Linux. I have a dual boot MAC OSX 10.4/Ubuntu 8.04 machine. Electric works fine with the MAC OS. Under Linux, I have tried running Electric from the jar file on the MAC OS partition (which has journalling disabled) and from a copy on the Linux partition.
I notice that with the MAC a file called .DS_Store is written after every session, but not with Linux. Instead I find a series of files with names like /home/graham/.java/.userPrefs/com/sun/electric/technology/technologies/prefs.xml Can someone explain where user preferences (like layer colours and transparencies) are kept? I would prefer a file kept in the working directory rather than one in the user's .java directory. In Linux I am unable to double click on a layer in the Layer menu on the left to make a layer visible or invisible. I have to click on the button. Double clicking works fine under MAC. There are other Linux issues as well, but I think it is some setup problem and these will go away once fixed. On Lnux I have java version 1.6.0_07-b06 and on the MAC 1.5_0_07-164. I'm using Electric 8.08. My objective is to use one Electric jar file and project directory on the MAC partition, and use either Linux of MAC for editing work.
