RE: Bringing up SNav editor from outsite Source Navigator.

[William Gacquer <wgacquer@ubisoft.fr>]

well well well...

I am also interested in the purpose of opening files from "outside". You all
know gnuclient? Why can't sn act as a server too ? That would be pretty
useful. From a python/perl/bash/etc. script, it would allow to edit files
INTO an already opened sn project.

you can actually open the SN editor without a project,
as DeJong described here, you have to write a script
that creates a SN window and opens the file, if you
look into multiapp.tcl, you will figure it out
quickly.
