IDimager can be started from the command line with the following parameters:
-downloader
|
Starts IDimager and opens the Downloader on startup
|
-camwiz
|
Identical as -downloader
Example:
C:\Program Files\idPlanner Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -camwiz
Optionally enter a name of the download profile that should be started by separating it with a semi colon;
Example:
C:\Program Files\idPlanner Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe "-downloader:my profile"
|
-i <<script name>>
|
Start IDimager and run the script as specified. The script can either have the extension .psc (quick script) as .idscript (GUI script)
Example:
C:\Program Files\idPlanner Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -i "C:\Script Files\MyScript.idscript"
|
-autoclose
|
Start IDimager and close it afterwards. The recommended way to use this is to start IDimager with other parameters so that the application is closed after the parameter is processed.
|
-a <<data files folder>>
|
IDimager will store all data files (like options file, custom XMP designs, etc) in the Windows local user's data folder (%appdata% under XP and %localappdata% under Vista). With this startup parameter you can change the folder that should be used. Once you set this parameter, IDimager will search for the data files in that folder.
Example:
C:\Program Files\idPlanner Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -a "d:\my data folder"
|
-o <<options file>>
|
By default IDimager starts the application and will load the file Options.imb as you active option settings. With this parameter you will be able to start IDimager with different option settings by passing the options file to the command line.
Example:
C:\Program Files\idPlanner Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -o "c:\My Settings\network options.imb"
|
|
|
Every parameter can be combined with other parameters. For example to close IDimager after running a script you could use this:
C:\Program Files\IDimager Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -i c:\myscript.psc -autoclose
The Professional SQLServer Edition also allows you to enter the login details directly on the command line. That way you can bypass the login screen or easily start IDimager in Windows batch files.
-S <<SQLserver instance name>>
|
Specify the name of the SQLServer instance you want to connect to. By default this is .\SQLExpress
|
-D <<database name>>
|
Specify the name of the database within the SQLServer instance. By default this is IDimager
|
-U <<username>>
|
Specify the IDimager-username that should be used to login. The Professional Edition requires this to be admin
|
-P <<password>>
|
Specify the login password for the IDimager-username
|
-T <<thumbs folder>>
|
(optional) Specify the folder location for the thumbnails database
|
|
|
-TD
|
Specify the name of the database within the SQLServer instance . By default this is idimagerthumbs
By default IDimager uses a SQLite database to store the thumbnails (even in Pro-SQLServer). However, it is possible to use a SQLServer version of the thumbnails database.
The requirement is that the SQLserver thumbnail database is created within the same SQLServer instance that also hosts your IDimager database.
To create new SQLServer based database, then download and run the file SQLServerThumbs.sql in your SQLServer console. First check the file paths in this script to make sure they are configured in the way you want it to be. Find the SQLServerThumbs.sql file in the sub folder ...\IDimager\Tools\others
Only use this command line startup parameter after you have set up the thumbnail database

|
|
Example:
C:\Program Files\IDimager Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -S .\SQLExpress -D IDimager -U admin -P master2004
The Professional Desktop Edition also allows you to enter the login details directly on the command line to bypass the login dialog.
-D <<database name>>
|
Specify the path and name of the SQLite database.
|
-U <<username>>
|
Specify the IDimager-username that should be used to login. The Professional Edition requires this to be admin
|
-P <<password>>
|
Specify the login password for the IDimager-username
|
-T <<thumbs folder>>
|
(optional) Specify the folder location for the thumbnail database
|
Example:
C:\Program Files\IDimager Products\IDimager\IDimager.exe -D "c:\IDimager Catalog\idimager.cat.db" -U admin -P master2004
