This capability is redundant with logical links. Instead of creating a .cur file,create a logical link to the data source. For example, for BLASTpol10, the data logging program creates a link from /data/rawdir/<dirfilename> to /data/etc/defile.lnk. ie, the equivalent of ln -s /data/rawdir/<dirfilename> /data/etc/defile.lnk We then simply open /data/etc/defile.lnk, as we used to open /data/etc/defile.cur. BLASTpol10 used this exclusively, for the 2010 campaign, and it worked very well. Consequently, we do not plan to implement .cur file redirection. Awesome :) Clearly there is no need for a .cur file implementation when symbolic links do the job so nicely. Many thanks |
