Tips: Opening files with command lines

When using the command line to open files in Imagenation, remember the following:

· If you are using long file names that contain blank characters, then the file name must be enclosed in double quotes.

· If you give a fully qualified path and file name, then Imagenation tries to open that particular file.

· If you give only a file name, then Imagenation searches the default directory to find the file. To begin, the Imagenation program directory is the default directory.

· If you previously specified a directory with a -B sequence in the command line, then that directory is now the default directory.

· If the file cannot be found in the default directory, then the Image Directory specified in the Storage category of the Preference Options dialog box (Preference Options, File, Storage) is used.

· Wildcard characters are accepted in file names, but not in directory paths. Imagenation opens all the files in a given directory that match the wildcard characters. For example, c:\images\*\applied.mil is not a valid wildcard match for Imagenation. On the other hand, c:\images\samples\*.mil is a valid match.
