LiveCode Forums.

Hi,

I have been asked today if I can modify one of my little Standalones to accept arguements when it is opened from another application (Webpage Link)
Namely, they want to be able to tell my Program to open, pass it the location of a file to convert then my program converts it and closes.

Currently my program does this by dragging the file onto an imageArea in the Card.

I am okay with modifying my program etc but cant find any thing about it accepting arguements on openStack etc.
I know of URLWakeUP on Mobile but can't see anything similar for Desktop.

Thanks
Nakia

Thanks for the reply..
That gives me what I need but I don't wish to do all of it.

To clarify, in my situation another program wishes to launch my application passing it a file location. The file will be an XML file wish my program modifies then opens in default browser. So I don't wish to modify the registry to make windows think my program is the default program to view XML files..

So with that in mind could I just do step 4 from the instructions you posted ?
