Open file from command line in linux

autodeskguest

Hi.

 

I'd like to get a list of what command line parameters

eagle can be run with on linux.

I'm looking for a way to open a (schematic) file from the

command line (so that i can create a .desktop file to

open eagle files).

 

Anybody? Thanks.

    That doesn't works for schematics files. If I run

         sheel> eagle document.sch

    eagle will start and first complain that the directory

    document.sch doesn't exists (oviously, it's a file) and

    then sets the library directory in Options >

    Directories to /home/user/path/to/document.sch.

     

    I just tried it on Windows 2000 and it seems to work correctly.  Of course

    then it doesn't open Eagle thru the Windows menu shortcut, so it picks a

    arbitrary window size and position for the control panel whereas it's

    opened maximized when I run it from the menu or my special CTRL-ALT-C

    hotkey for Eagle.

     

    Personally I run eagle with by using the aforementioned hot key, then use

    the TAB, arrows, and ENTER keys to navigate thru the control panel and open

    the schematic, library, or board that I want to work with.
