Command line interface

Start up with your own options

Especially when you are placing Vallen JPegger on a CD then you might want to start it up with predefined options. The following command line is defined:

jpegger [-?] | [-help] [-dm:<mode> [-notab]] [-fs] [-ss:<delay>] [-sc:<scale>] [-ui -q] [-r] <image>

Pops up a short command line help, same as ûhelp.

-help

Pops up a short command line help, same as -?

-dm:<mode>

Display Mode on start:

0: MP3 Explorer
1: Image Explorer, thumbnails left, Tab Files in front
2: Image Explorer, thumbnails left, Tab Thumbnails in front
3: Image Explorer, thumbnails right, Tab Image in front (Flip thumbnails)
4: Image Explorer, thumbnails right, Tab Thumbnails in front (Flip thumbnails)

Can be used with option -notab

Mode 3 replaces old option -ft.

-notab

Don't show tabs, means either image or MP3 Explorer is hidden. Only in combination with -dm:<mode>

-nohist

Don't save history lists. When running JPegger from command-line you may not want to save the images/folders shown in the history lists.

-fs

Start up in full screen mode

-paste

-ss:<delay>

jpegger.exe -ft -setlng:deu -ss:6000 -mw start\startimage.jpg

Calls JPegger, flips thumbnails on start, presets German language to skip start-up setup, starts slide show mode with time interval of 6 seconds, maximizes JPegger, and opens image "startimage.jpg" out of folder start. All images in folder "start" will be shown in slide show mode in alphanumeric order.

Hint: When providing filenames or path including blanks including blanks then you can enclose one or each individual option by quotes to make the program understand that this is one single option:
Example: jpegger.exe -ft -ss:6000 ûmw "start folder\start image.jpg"
