Note: The command-line parameters described here only work on Windows.
Command-line parameters allow you to specify that TextMaker is started immediately with a specific program option rather than with the usual default behavior. Example: You would like TextMaker to switch to the dialog box for selecting a document template directly upon startup.
To insert a command-line parameter, proceed as follows:
1. | Create a new shortcut to TextMaker on the desktop. Ideally, give the link a distinctive name in order to distinguish it more clearly. |
2. | Choose the properties of the shortcut: Right-click on the link for the context menu and select the entry Properties. |
3. | The following dialog box with the Shortcut tab will then appear: |
4. | In the input field Target after the file path "...\TextMaker.exe", enter the desired parameter from the table below. In the figure, for example, this is the parameter -FN. |
Important: There must be a space in front of the parameter and the parameter starts with a hyphen.
5. | Confirm with OK. |
When you open TextMaker via this newly created link (double-click the link), the program will start directly with the behavior of the parameter that was used.
