Start XYPlorer properties

[mikes16]

I wish to create links to start XYPlorer in certain configurations. My idea would be as follows:


Open XYPlorer with one tab, open to the location indicated
xyplorer.exe -<filepath or explorer favorite>

Open XYPlorer with two tabs, the tabs open to the locations indicated
xyplorer.exe -<filepath or xyplorer favorite>;<filepath or xyplorer favorite>

Other "switches" might include:

-c0 do NOT close existing XYPlorer windows
-c1 DO close existing XYPlorer windows

I have a program that can call a shortcut with parameters via a keyclick and this would be very helpful and as far as I can tell still adheres to the idea of XYPlorer not leaving files in the registry or in .ini files. If adding the choice to use "xyplorer favorite" for a path violates this I would be more than happy if I had to set up the parameters using the full pathnames.

Thanks for your consideration!

Quick answer: not now. My todo list is long, and there's a lot of very interesting and fundamental stuff (like e.g. Undo) on it that deserves priority. But thanks for your ideas!

One option that you might be able to use now (though it's not quite as flexible as what you described) is to have some pre-defined configurations, each with its own ini file. Then you can start XY using the /ini= parameter (i.e. /ini="my-ini-file-1") to use the different ini files, thereby getting the different configurations.

Again, not quite what you were asking for, but it might help for the time being...
