Starting DataWarrior for Linux from a remote shared drive is possible, but requires a few adaptions
that make sure that the following things are done correctly or work as intended:
- mime type registration
- application and document icon support
- automaticly launching DataWarrior when document icons are double clicked
- automaticly launching DataWarrior when custom URI in a web page is clicked
- DataWarrior needs to find the directories for example files, macros, etc.
- Update download works usually on individual machines. You probably want to
tweak the mechanism to also load update files from the server, I assume.
For proper installation I think that you still need to run a script locally to
copy the desktop file, icon files, the start script, and update the desktop database.
You can adapt the start script to launch java from you share and to load the
datawarriorlauncher from the share. You then need to add the -Drootpath=/yourshare/yourdir
option to the start script (that will work from version 6.2.2). This will
load all example files, macros, etc. from /yourshare/yourdir/<dirname>, where
dirname is 'example, macro, reference, tutorial, update', while update still needs
a special handling.
I suggest, if you are going for this, that we closely communicate and sort out
any issues that will arise. I would provide updates if needed to ensure a proper
user experience.
