Command line usage
« on: February 09, 2010, 08:03:51 am »
I'm trying to start using PVD from the command line but I can't get the parameters to do anything.  I'll use a shortcut Target like:

"C:\Portable Apps\PVD Portable\PVD_Portable.exe" -addmovie="test"

and PVD will open but it won't add a movie.  Same for the -selectmovie parameter.  I tried using a Windows command window and the Run dialog but the result is the same.  Also, if PVD is already open, executing this command will open a new instance instead of passing the parameters to the existing one.  What am I doing wrong?

PVD v0.9.9.16
Windows 7 32-bit

Remove the quotes from the movie name.

Oops. Nostra (following) is correct, of course. If the title happens to be one word, the quotes can be omitted. Otherwise, they're essential.

It should be "viddb.exe" -addmovie="test"
