Starting KLayout with command line options from the launching pad on Mac OS X

sekigawa

Hi,

I'm a real novice at Mac.

I have installed "klayout-0.22.6.pkg" to Mac OS X (Mountain Lion),
which can start normally from the launching pad.
Thank you for providing the convenient binary package.

I'd like to make a change to start the tool with "-style=cleanlooks -e"
command line options as I do on Windows and Linux.

It would be better if two icons (non-editing mode and editing mode) are
created on the launching pad at installation.


Can anybody give suggestion?
Thanks.

Matthias

Hi,

I am as much novice as you are. Lacking Mac hardware (and given the non-profit nature of the project not willing to purchase one for the sole reason of supporting it), I myself don't use MacOS or develop on it. The binary packages are welcomed contributions from other users which I forward to the community.

Anybody who is able to give a solution for that request?

Regards,

Matthias

Hi,

I could make a small progress regarding this issue.
The solution may not be a perfect one, however,
I could make two klayout launching icons
(one for editor mode; another for viewer mode)
in the Launchpad by running the command below:
$ ./createIcons.sh

The "editor mode" will have "cleanlooks" style;
the "viewer mode", "motif" style.

I will send a ZIP file containing the relevant
Bash script files to the "Contact" address.
I will be happy if Mac experts can comment on this.

Hi,

I have made the .zip archive available on the server here: http://178.77.72.242/downloads/klayout-Icons-OSX.zip.

Thanks to Kazzz for providing it. If there is an enhancement, let me know. I'll update it then.

Regards,

Matthias
