Subject: w32: addpm.exe -> usethis.exe?
Date: Mon, 04 Jul 2005 18:16:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42C960C2.8010002@student.lu.se> (raw)
A rather long time ago I rewrote addpm.exe and renamed it to
usethis.exe. I made two important changes:
1) It adds/changes emacs_dir to HKCU if HKLM can not be used.
2) No icon is added to Program Manager any more. In my opinion Emacs
should be run as a server on w32 and that icon starts a standalone Emacs
without any server capabilities.
The last point may need some explanation. If I get it right Emacs is
often started first as a standalone application and then gnuserv or
emacsserver are started later. That is in my opinion not the best way to
do it. Instead I believe that gnuclient or emacsclient should start
Emacs and tell it to start gnuserv/emacsserver if needed.
Doing it that way makes it possible to implement shortcuts to Emacs (ie
gnuclient) on all places where you can do so in w32. You can also this
way easily use Emacs as an edit server for other apps that allow you to
do so.
So the shortcut/icon in Program Manager should point to
gnuclient/emacsclient instead and should be added when those are added.
BTW, I doubt that emacsserver/client will be ready for w32 before
release. Does anyone have any updates on this? There is a version of
gnuserver/client that we can use instead however.
