Command-line parameters

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
