There isn't currently a way to have it start minimized, but I'll put that on our feature request list and we'll see what we can do

Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-operation/?ID=4f696482-80ab-4c4c-b766-85b7616bc708#4 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 15:24:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-operation/?ID=4f696482-80ab-4c4c-b766-85b7616bc708#4 FileSeek is there a command line switch that would open fileseek in minimized form? I'm running hundreds of iterations of FileSeek via a command batch file and while it is running I can't do anything else with my computer while it is running.

In fact, it is taking forever to write this email to you!

Thanks,

I needed to provide the full path for my output file when running it inside my app. now it works fine in that regard.

We'll test this out this week and see what we can find out. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-operation/?ID=4f696482-80ab-4c4c-b766-85b7616bc708 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 16:56:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/command-line-operation/?ID=4f696482-80ab-4c4c-b766-85b7616bc708 FileSeek I have the need to run the command line option from within a home-grown application. I do it by executing a System.Diagnostics.Process() set of functions from within my app.

A massaged version of the batch file is attached to this question (Filelookup123.bat) (I have made the path to the files vanilla due to security reasons)

The code I am executing is attached in a separate file (code.txt). Note that the argument which is the value to search for is placed into an Arguments object like it should be.

The problem I'm having is that the Lookup.csv file isn't getting generated when the code is run from within my application. I do see the FileSeek GUI open up and populate with results and then exit when it is finished, but the Lookup.csv file doesn't get created.

I can manually run the same thing from a command prompt and the .csv file does get generated. Here's an example of that:
c:\FileSeek>Filelookup data

What am I doing wrong in my code snippet?

Thanks in advance,
