I'm running Google Chrome (12.0.742.122) on OS X (Snow Leopard) and I need to pass the "–allow-files-access-from-files" option so that I can test some local javascript stuff I'm working on.
I've tried using the following command-line approaches:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Content/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --allow-files-access-from-files
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Content/MacOS/Google\ Chrome -n --args --allow-files-access-from-files
Both will launch Google Chrome but it doesn't seem to take the argument as I am still not able to test my local Javascript.
Any suggestions?

I don't know how to adequately test the
--allow-file-access-from-files
switch, but it works for--incognito
for me (same version and OS).It appears as though Chrome does not like to be opened twice; when passing the
-n
switch toopen
(which is supposed to open a new instance), it immediately kills itself.EDIT: 'allow-files-access-from-files' should be 'allow-file-access-from-files'
