> > | Note
In order for the Mac to open files and URL's from within the Appx application, you should set '-shell=open' on the startup parameters for the client. This can be done by changing the /Applications/AppxDesktopClient/AppxDesktopClient.app/Contents/Info.plist. Look for the line <key>Arguments. Just below that line you can add a line:
<string>-shell=open</string>
Alternatively, when you log on, you can click the 'Options' tab, then the 'Advanced' button. In the '[Startup]' section, change the commandShell to 'open'. This setting will be remembered from now on. |
| Additional Information
When you click the APPX Desktop Client icon, OS/X will either start the program (if it is not running), or take you to the running program (if it is already running). Sometimes you might prefer to open additional sessions to your APPX server. In that case, create an Apple Script with the following lines:
on run |
|
< < | do shell script "open -n /Applications/AppxDesktopClient/AppxDesktopClient.app --args -host=<hostname> -user=yyyyy -password=xxxxxx -port=8060" |
> > | do shell script "open -n /Applications/AppxDesktopClient/AppxDesktopClient.app --args -host=<hostname> -user=yyyyy -password=xxxxxx -port=8060 -shell=open" |
|
end run |
