Thetis command line start options

Postby dl4zbg » Sat Feb 05, 2022 4:38 pm

Hello,

is there an option to start Thetis with directly activating the radio without clicking the "start"- button?

Add -autostart to the startup.

Thanks,

is there a list of all possible start options available? I did not find it the Thetis manual.

-autostart (powers on the radio 2 seconds after thetis start up)
-dbfilename (lets you define a path to a database file)
-datapath (will let you supply a folder that is different to the normal %appdata%\OpenHPSDR\\Thetis (or Thetis-x64)

the formats need to be something like :

Code: Select all

Thetis.exe -autostart
Thetis.exe -datapath:c:\thetisdatafolder\
Thetis.exe "-datapath:c:\test with spaces\"
Thetis.exe -datapath:c:\thetisdatafolder\ -autostart
Thetis.exe "-datapath:c:\test with spaces\" -autostart
Thetis.exe -dbfilename:c:\folder\database.xml
Thetis.exe "-dbfilename:c:\test folder with spaces\database.xml"


for example, my shortcut would be....

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\OpenHPSDR\Thetis\Thetis.exe" "-datapath:c:\test with spaces\"


Spaces are important between 'arguments' as are quotation marks around arguments that have spaces in the path. The Thetis shortcut might already have quotation marks around that part. Leave those, move to the end (outside the quotations), add a single space, then either the argument, or a quotation wrapped argument.

Great topic. Edited the title to make it more clear, and made it "tacked".

Would nice to have a "thetis -help" to show the options.

Simpler than a manual.
