| - | ''>> "Also Known as "Command Line Mode" for use in Batch files or CMD files."'' | + | ===== Command Line (Scripts) ===== |
| + | |||
| + | Obviously, if you are an advanced user, you could also consider to create Batch files or CMD files to work with DropIt. Some notes about the syntax to use with command line features: | ||
| + | * ''-ProfileName'' is the syntax to start DropIt with a defined profile (case sensitive); | ||
| + | * Filename parameter can includes asterisk wildcards ''*''; | ||
| + | * Double quotation marks ''""'' are needed for parameters that include spaces; | ||
| + | * Both absolute and relative paths are supported as parameters; | ||
| + | * ''/Close'' is a command to close all instances of DropIt which are running; | ||
| + | * ''/Refresh'' is a command to refresh DropIt reloading settings; | ||
| + | * ''/Restart'' is a command to restart DropIt. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So these are some examples: | ||
| + | * use DropIt with a specified profile:\\ | ||
| + | ''"C:\My Folder\DropIt\DropIt.exe" -MyProfile'' | ||
| + | * process specified source files using "last-used" profile:\\ | ||
| + | ''"C:\My Folder\DropIt\DropIt.exe" "C:\Folder 1\*.jpg" "E:\Folder 2\*.png"'' | ||
| + | * process specified source files using a defined profile:\\ | ||
| + | ''"C:\My Folder\DropIt\DropIt.exe" -MyProfile "C:\My Docs\text*.*" "E:\Folder\*.pdf"'' | ||
| + | * close DropIt by Command-Line:\\ | ||
| + | ''"C:\My Folder\DropIt\DropIt.exe" /Close'' | ||
