Hi,

I would need to open a window on Ambient in "List" mode and in "All Files" mode using a command like "Open" (is in MorphOS/C). I would also need that this window has a certain size and opens in a certain position on Ambient.

I can do that when I use Bookmarks where I use the following command:

PM1-Clients:?view=List&mode=ALL&top=180&left=240&width=540&height=740

but this seems to work only with Bookmarks


Does someone know if it is possible to open a window in "List" mode and "All Files" mode using anything else then Bookmarks?

Thanks for help!

Regards
Christoph

Hi!

You may change the viewmode, see MOSSYS:Ambient/docs/arexx.txt

Looks quite complicated, but works:

RX "ADDRESS AMBIENT 'loaduri sys:?view=icon&mode=all'"

Opens SYS: in icon/all mode.

Please note the ' characters enclosing the loaduri command.

So this is basically your line for external usage:

RX "ADDRESS AMBIENT 'loaduri sys:?view=List&mode=ALL&top=180&left=240&width=540&height=740'"

I'd also use RXCmd instead or RX, because RXCmd doesn't need a working rexxsyslib.library installed and thus works out of the box on any MorphOS setup. It also makes the line to look a bit cleaner:

RXCmd AMBIENT "loaduri sys:?view=List&mode=ALL&top=180&left=240&width=540&height=740"

Hi all,

thanks for all your feed-back about this Yes it seems to work, Frank did also suggest the same way to do that, I mean rexx and loaduri. I need to see now with MUIbase developper how I can use that in my database to open directly from within the db the partions and directories.

Best regards
Christoph
