Description
This is request from a SF user - see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genoviz/forums/forum/439786/topic/5300474
If it's feasible to do without risking a lot of new bugs, it would be great if we could accommodate his request in the 6.7.2 release. It's your call - whatever you think best is fine.
He says:
I'd like to be able to change the port that the bookmark server runs on, by specifing it at the command line when I start IGB or putting it in a configuration file. Is that possible? If not, can this be a feature request? I can explain the use case if that is necessary. Thanks, Dan

See:

In the User's Guide under Advanced Features.
To test:
(0) Open Terminal window on your Mac
(1) Check out the code from sourceforge.net
($ = UNIX prompt in your Terminal window)
type:
$ svn co https://genoviz.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/genoviz/branches/igb_6_7
(2) Build IGB
$ cd igb_6_7
$ ant exe
(3) Test by running IGB
$ java -Xmx1g igb_exe.jar [options]
Option Lance added (according to above) is -port
(4) Open a text editor and make a Web page (HTML file) containing IGB bookmarks
Syntax for IGB booksmarks is described here:
https://wiki.transvar.org/confluence/x/WIHdAQ
Instead of port 7085 try something different.
See new comment for tutorial on how to test this.
Try ports 6666, 6667, etc., with one or more instances of IGB running.
I do not know where this tutorial is that you refer to in the above comment. What I have been able to piece together between the manual and what you have written above (beginning from step 3) is that I should add the "-port6666" to the end of the java 'run' line. Step 4 indicates that I need to save a html document using the format as described in the manual, ie
- http://localhost:7085/UnibrowControl?seqid=chr1&end=120583464&start=120520690&version=mm9
However, there is no indication if I should be or should NOT be changing the port number as specified in the bookmark. Additionally, there is no instruction on how to use the html document to check these bookmarks (I can use a browser to do it without too much fuss).
Having spoken with hiral, I am able to do what is needed to test the port function for bookmarks, and it works fine.
NOTE: the command is "-port XXXX" where there is a space. Documentation shows NO space between 'port' and the number.
The general instructions in the 'Advanced' section of the manual are truly for 'advanced' and not intermediate people... they might need a rewrite.
Hiral - you need to add this command into the command line section. I don't have editing permission.
Added instruction to wiki.
If we do this then if a user creates bookmarks, then those bookmarks will be limited to his IGB instance only. Also bookmarks created by others will not work too on his instance.
