Option or command to open MC with specific library.
« on: July 26, 2004, 04:49:19 am »

Is there an option or a command line parameter that will start MC up with a specific library?  At the moment, it always starts up with the "last open" library.  Due to various circumstances, this results in the "wrong" library openning when certain people use this system.  I'd like to be able to tell MC to always open with a certain library regardless of the last one that was open on this machine.

Thanks,

Larry

I don't know of any such command.  You could look in the registry for the key that stores the library path and write a batch file that updates this key before launching MC.

I'm no expert so there may be a better way but I would export the key to a .reg file, edit it with notepad, then save it somewhere.  Then write a batch file that will run the .reg file, wait a second or so, then launch MC.

I like this idea. I would be nice to have a "Use this library when MC is started" option in Library Manager.

E.g. I could select a local library as default if MC is only occasionally connected with Media Server.
