Hi,
I had a file "basexgui.vbs", which would start the BaseX GUI without opening a console, but upon last installation it got overwritten. I do not find it, neither here, in the list, nor with Google, overall.
Does anybody have this? Thanks!
Hi Andreas,
I guess this file was created by yourself; at least I haven’t heard of it before.
It’s a bit annoying indeed that batch scripts will always open a console window (and for reasons of compatibility with older versions of Windows, they are still our preferred way to define start scripts). You can at least ensure that the window is automatically closed after the start if the java GUI process is started with "start javaw" or (depending on your configuration) with "run java". Another alternative is to create a link (.lnk) with a direct Java call (javaw -cp ...).
Hope this helps, looking forward to the experiences of other users, Christian

Hmmm... could be.
Anyway, I just did it, though it became a `basexgui.js`.
It's modelled after `basexgui.bat`, with the difference, that it could accept additional, user provided, command line args. Not sure, whether that makes sense, but I added it, since it was free ;-)
It needs to be installed into `BaseX\bin`, along with the other launchers. It's Public Domain, CC0, or MIT. Feel free to incorporate it, distribute it, etc.
