Command-line parameters

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 within 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 Atlantis launches in the "non-maximized" state of its window. awp.exe -r
m Atlantis launches in the "maximized" state of its window. awp.exe -m
fs Atlantis activates the Full Screen mode upon the startup. awp.exe -fs
dls Atlantis does not retrieve settings from the INI file. The default "factory" settings are used. 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 within 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"
