Launch with JSON

[matyalatte]

Related to #55.

Tuw now takes the first argument as a JSON path. If you rename JSON files to *.tuw and set Tuw as a default application for opening *.tuw, you can launch GUI just by clicking *.tuw files.

Changes

• When the first argument contains ., tuw uses it as a JSON file for gui definition. And working directory will be the JSON file's directory.
• Tuw now uses the default CWD to resolve paths in command-line arguments. (Old versions used executable's directory as CWD.)

How to set Tuw as a default application for opening *.tuw

Windows

1. Right click a *.tuw file and select Open with....
2. Check Always use this app to open .tuw file and select Tuw.exe.

Ubuntu

1. Add application/x-tuw to ~/.local/share/mime/packages/Overrides.xml

(Make Overrides.xml if it does not exist.)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
  <mime-type type="application/x-tuw">
    <comment>TUW custom file</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.tuw"/>
  </mime-type>
</mime-info>

2. Make ~/.local/share/applications/tuw.desktop.

Replace /full/path/to/Tuw with your path to Tuw. And save it as tuw.desktop.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Tuw
Comment=Tiny GUI wrapper for CLI tools
Exec=/full/path/to/Tuw %f
Terminal=false
MimeType=application/x-tuw;
Categories=Utility;Application;

3. Update database

$ update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
$ update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
$ xdg-mime default tuw.desktop application/x-tuw

macOS

1. Make AppleScript

Open the script editor and write the following AppleScript. And replace /full/path/to/Tuw with your path to Tuw.

on open fileList
    -- Modify this variable for your environment
    set exePath to "/full/path/to/Tuw"

    set filePath to item 1 of fileList
    set posixFilePath to POSIX path of filePath

    tell application "Terminal"
        do script exePath & " " & posixFilePath & "; exit;"
    end tell
end open

[!Note]
You have to make a wrapper for Tuw with AppleScript, because macOS applications do not pass paths as arguments when opening files. It requires native API to get the opening file paths but Tuw does not support it yet.

2. Export the script as an application. (File > Export...)

3. Right click a .tuw file and set Tuw as a default application.
