How do I add flags using a shortcut to the GUI client?
From FaHWiki
By default installation, the GUI installer places a shortcut in your -> Startup Folder.
1. If you currently do not have a shortcut to the GUI client, one can easily be created by several methods.
- Right click the GUI executable. (Usually named winFAH.exe)
- Select Create Shortcut from the pop-up menu.
This will add a shortcut to the GUI client in the current dir. Then you can move it to an appropriate location.
Or you can:
- Right click on the GUI executable.
- Click Copy.
- Go to where you want to place the shortcut to the GUI client.
- Right Click on a blank area.
- Select Paste Shortcut.
This will paste a shortcut to the GUI client where you want it.
2. To add a switch to your GUI client:
- Right click on the GUI shortcut.
- Select Properties.
- Go to the end of the line in the Target: box.
- Add a space
- Add the desired switch (including the leading hyphen.)
- If you are adding more than one switch, be sure to use a space between each switch.
- Click Apply.
- Close the window.
Note: The target may contain quote marks. If so, the switches go OUTSIDE the quotes.
Visual Example:
Repeat this process for each client you are running.
FAH will now use the switch(s) every time you start the GUI client using this shortcut.
Or, you can place the shortcut in your startup folder, if you want the client to load every time you log on.
To make it load every time any user logs on, you need to place the shortcut in to the ALL USERS -> Startup folder.
Note
Make sure that you only have one shortcut in the startup folders (both all users, and standard users), or you run the risk of starting two clients, and corrupting your work units.
