Short: Use CLI/req. to open WB-drawers/files (w/asm src.) Author: Alex Gustavsen (s991641@stud.nhh.no) Uploader: Alex Gustavsen (s991641 stud nhh no) Type: util/cli Version: 1.1 Requires: OS 3.5 (workbench.library v44+) Architecture: m68k-amigaos = About WBOpen ============================================================== WBOpen allows you to open files or drawers from Shell in the same way as if you doubleclicked their icons from WB. If you don't supply a name, an ASL requester will pop up. WBOpen requires OS3.5. It will not work unless Workbench is loaded. = Why? ====================================================================== The main reason why I wrote WO was that I got tired of clicking my through the entire directory tree just to open ONE drawer. Usually this "one drawer" would be currentdir in CLI or the source directory in DOpus or Filemaster, which of course makes the situation seem even more wasted.. =] Then there's those programs that store their prefs as icon tooltypes, and expect you to type the arguments manually when started from Shell.. = Usage ===================================================================== WBOpen currently only takes one argument, which is the name of the file or drawer that you want to open. The entire commandline is taken as argument, so you don't have to worry about quotation marks if the name contains spaces. Here's a few examples to demonstrate how it works: > wo sys:prefs ;this brings up the prefs drawer on the wb screen > wo "" ;opens currentdir > wo file with ttypes ;launches "file with ttypes" from WB > wo ;let you choose file/dir using a requester = History ==================================================================== (1.1) First public release. Rewrote most of the source because the latest version somehow disappeared from my HD. Also added support for ASL requester if argument missing. (1.0) First version = Feedback =================================================================== If you like this program, if you find any bugs, or if you have suggestions for future improvements, please get in touch!
