Citrix = set path in cmd line argument

Post by rrangel8 »

Once this application is launched, I need it to open a certain folder on a server, example: \\server1\folder1\.
If I use the path example above right now, the title bar shows the path but the folder does not open. Any suggestions? Cannot specifically locate the needed cmd in the help directory of the app.

So you call XY via

Code: Select all

xyplorer.exe "\\server1\folder1\"
and it doesn't open that network path after being called like that?
- What is displayed in the rightmost part of the status bar at the bottom of XY?

- What happens when you enter that path in the address bar (and confirm that with {ENTER}) once XY is launched?
- XY version?

Have you tried to invoke XY with the parameter

Code: Select all

/script="::goto '\\server1\folder1\';"
Does that lead to a different result?

Apart from that: No Citrix server here, no personal tests possible...

if I go to file>open and type the path, it looks like an explorer window opens and I am able to reach the folder needed with its contents.

the location is available, because when I go to file>open from xy, and I navigate to the location, it opens.
To see the attached files, you need to log into the forum.

Em, your "command line option" is really

Code: Select all

network_path \\<server>\<some path>
???

What the hell does "network_path" do here?

Just use:

Code: Select all

\\<server>\<some path>
But you will probably need to click the icon (you'll know what I mean when you see it)
once XY starts with that argument...

ok, as simple as you put it highend, that is the first thing I did. The problem I found was a setting under Tools>Configuration>Startup & Exit. I needed to clear the checkmark for "No Network browsing on startup". Why anyone would put that setting there??? That seems to resolve the issue.
