Compatibility Mode

To enable the compatibility mode, you need to use the -c or --compatibility-mode argument option when starting the application.

The urls cannot contain file://, only the absolute path for the file. You need to use the absolute path for the file. Relative paths wont work. The old HTML tag <scripttool> is not available even in compatibility mode.

In comptibility mode, the URLs will not contain commands, just the path for the file. BigBashView will try to guess what to do with the file according its extension.

|| Extension || BBV Action || || .sh,.sh.html,.sh.htm || Execute the file and return the result as HTML || || .htm, .html || Open the file and return its content as HTML || || .txt || Open the file and return its content as TXT ||

To get some examples on how to use compatibility mode, see the folder compatibility_mode inside the demos folder of your BigBashView package.
