Command Line to Launch Dopus and open a specific folder

Hi,

I am trying to take advantage of the hot key on my new Microsoft keyboard. The Microsoft IntelliType v6.2 software allows you to assign and launch specific programs via a command line.

I don't store my images in the WinXP default My Pictures folder, can I use a command line to launch Dopus and have it go to my image storage folder ? I know you can change your default listers via preferences upon Dopus startup, but I don't want Dopus to go my image storage folder all the time, only when I press the hot key on the keyboard.

I tried the following, but got a syntax error;

C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe /d:\MyStuff\Image Storage Folder

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Try this:

"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "d:\MyStuff\Image Storage Folder"

The quotes are needed because of the spaces in the path names.

If Opus has Explorer Replacement switched on then you may be able to simplify it even further:

"d:\MyStuff\Image Storage Folder"

This depends on exactly how Intellitype runs the command that you give it, so you may need the full dopusrt.exe stuff from Jon's post above. If you are setting up lots of hotkeys it might be worth a try, though, since it saves some typing and is easier to read when you come back to the configuration later.

I tried both suggestions, they both works. Thanks a lot.

Now, I get greedy. Can I also specify the destination folder in that same one line command code ? My wild guess may be;

"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "d:\MyStuff\Image Storage Folder" "d:\MyStuff\Other Folder"

I don't know the switch, or if this can be done easily.

Thanks again.

Yup, you just need to add DUALPATH before the second path, like this:

"C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "d:\MyStuff\Image Storage Folder" DUALPATH "d:\MyStuff\Other Folder"

(That should all be on one line.)
