The difference between Executing and Executing in Terminal is that
the later does what it says, opening a terminal shell, and from
there, opening the desired application.? In practice, the only
advantage of opening with the terminal is that you get to see any
errors or diagnostics that the application logs to standard out, and
can easily kill the program if the window goes away but doesn't
fully exit.? The disadvantage is that you have another program
running (the terminal shell), which could be a problem if you're
constrained on RAM memory space.? It's also extra screen clutter.
Command-line applications, i.e. ones that don't open a GUI window,
need to be run from a terminal shell.? YAAC isn't such a program.?
Unless you need the terminal window for some reason, just choose
Execute.

Subject: [yaac-users] Desktop shortcut for YAAC
I created a desktop shortcut.? Works great.? When I click it
it gives me two options, Execute or Execute in Terminal.
Both options seem to work.? What is the difference between
these options ?
Thanks
