litter in client's Downloads folder

Postby kazar » Fri Aug 27, 2004 1:33 am

I just noticed that as a result of using URLs to connect to Servoy solutions, in my Safari "Downloads" directory there is a 2KB file for every time I connect ... even for multiple sessions with the same solution.

Is there any way to avoid littering the end-user's Downloads directory this way? (Especially since the average end-user leaves their download directory set to the default: their desktop.

These files are named servoy_client.jnlp, servoy_client-1.jnlp, servoy_client-2.jnlp, etc.

Thanks!

Are you constantly opening it throught the browser?
Why not set one servoy_client.jnlp on youre desktop and when you want to start click on that one?

Well, on my machine I could. But on a real end-user's machine in a zero-deployment environment, how would I get the .jnlp file onto their desktop?

OK, I'll keep that in mind. That has not happened for me when opening the SAN application. Thanks!

My experience is that this doesn't work on a Mac (getting a question from Java Webstart), but still puts another servoy_client.jnlp (incremented with one) in the download-folder.

on the mac, there's an option - i think it's in java web start preferences -
that allows you to specify if/when to ask the user if a startup application
should be generated.
