Hi again,
You wouldn’t happen to know how to do this on Mac, would you? I tried this:
open -a /Applications/NetBeans/Apache\ NetBeans\ 11.3.app --args
--open $PWD/try1.xml
But this has two effects, depending on whether Netbeans is already running:
if it is, Netbeans simply comes to the foreground, but the file is not
opened. If Netbeans wasn’t running, it starts up and immediately quits
again.
Any further info much appreciated.
Tom
