Call Lister Layout

Help & Support
1

We are writing a Macro with Macro Express. We also have XP Pro x64. When using Opus we do not have the ability to right click on the desktop and call a specific lister layout. Is there a way to load a specific lister layout with a hotkey or a keyboard shortcut. It would make things a lot easier if we could always guarantee that Opus would be in a specific state so that our Macro can call it properly.

Use this command in your macro or script.

"%ProgramFiles%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /CMD Prefs LAYOUT="Layout Name"

Change "Layout Name" to the layout you wish to use. If Opus is not running, it will first open Opus then the layout. If Opus is running, it will only open the layout.

Also: Settings -> Customize -> Keys allows you to define system-wide hotkeys which execute Opus commands.

(Edit: Rest of my post deleted as it said the same thing as Ken's post.)

Thanks for the help. I will give that a try. I knew there had to be a way, just wasn't sure how.
