You can pass additional instructions to Atlantis when it is launched by adding parameters to its command-line. For example, if you add the "-fs" parameter to the command-line of the Desktop shortcut of Atlantis:
it will always launch Atlantis in the Full screen mode.
You can launch custom command-lines by pressing Windows KeyR, through batch files, or using corresponding features of file managers or other applications.
The command-line of Atlantis can contain document filenames to be opened by Atlantis, and additional switches. For example, the following command-line instructs Atlantis to open three document files:
awp.exe C:\Doc01.rtf D:\Doc02.doc E:\Doc03.docx
The command-line switches must be preceded by a dash "-" or a slash "/".
The following table lists the switches that can be used in the command-line of Atlantis:
Switch | Description | Sample command-line |
p | Instructs Atlantis to print the document specified in the command-line, and shut down. Before printing the document, Atlantis displays the "Print" dialog to choose a printer and related options. | awp.exe -p C:\Doc01.rtf |
npd | Used in conjunction with the p switch. Instructs Atlantis to print the document from the command-line to the default printer silently (without displaying the "Print" dialog). | awp.exe -p -npd C:\Doc01.rtf |
pt | Instructs Atlantis to print the document from the command-line to the specified printer silently (without displaying the "Print" dialog). | awp.exe -pt C:\Doc01.rtf "hp deskjet 656c series" |
n | Atlantis does not create a new document at startup. | awp.exe -n |
r | The main window of Atlantis is not "maximized" at startup. | awp.exe -r |
m | The main window of Atlantis is "maximized" at startup. | awp.exe -m |
fs | Atlantis automatically activates the Full screen mode. | awp.exe -fs |
dls | Atlantis does not retrieve settings from the INI file but uses the default "factory" settings instead. | awp.exe -dls (use this command-line to switch to the "factory" settings) |
dss | Atlantis does not save settings on close. | awp.exe -dss |
sfn | Instructs Atlantis to use the INI file from the command-line. | awp.exe -sfn "D:\Custom.ini" |
Note that the filenames in the command-line that include spaces, must be enclosed within double quotes. For example, to open the document file named "My Document.rtf", use the following command-line:
awp.exe "My Document.rtf"
