Anyone know the command line switches for PSP?

I'm sure there are some, and they probably allow cool options. Specifically, I want PSP to start with a particular workspace.

Which version of paintshop pro are you using (need for future problems) .
PSP has built in switches to allow you to open in Manage or Edit mode.

Right click the empty work space and choose General Program Preferences > Default Work Space and yu can select Manage , Edit, or Keep Last View.

You can save workspaces as well under the menu 'file / workspace /'. I have several workspaces that I use. Each depends on the work.

The very latest. I check for updates all the time, too.

Umm, I don't mean Manage vs. Edit mode, I mean the layout of tools and options.

Yeah, but you have to go select a workspace every time you start PSP. I want my desktop link to open in a particular workspace. I suppose I can start PSP with a batch file that copies a particular workspace into default.pspworkspace, but I'd like to do it without a kludgy hack.

Workspace files are just registry key files. With the first line telling PSP with version of workspace it is. They were very lazy with workspace files. But what I'm getting at is I don't think PSP loads the workspace from the file on startup, I think it just reads it from the registry. Admittedly I could be wrong, but I have no default.pspworkspace file and renaming one of my other workspaces to "default" doesn't make it overwrite the current one. Nor does renaming one of the workspace files to the currently selected workspace.

I think the only ways to do it automatically are kludgy. PSP does have the ability to run a script on startup. It's the only commandline switch that I'm aware of. "/Script"

Creating the script is easy. Hit record on the script toolbar, then load the script you want to be your default workspace, then save the script.

In the shortcut add "/Script <path to script>" in the target box.

Run PSP and see what happens.

In my tests it did not properly load my custom bound script toolbar. But it did load everything else. Also, I had to set Edit as my default mode when starting PSP because I used custom toolbars and the like, it gave weird errors if PSP started in Manage Mode and I tried to load the workspace.

If I click on a .PspWorkspace file in the folder where they are stored, it loads X9 with this workspace active.

Awesome. I hadn't tried double=clicking on the file. xD I had only tried dropping the workspace onto icon and that came up with an "invalid file" error. That's a lot easier.

Still messes up my custom toolbar though. I have to restart PSP to get the toolbar to behave itself.

Personally I've just assigned my workspaces to certain shortcut key combos using scripts. But no one ever accused me of being practical. xD
