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.

    works at the project level.  I have also added a file

    association in

    Konqueror to associate .epf files with eagle.  So a

    single-click in

    Konqueror (or any other file browser) will launch

    eagle.

     

    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

    really consider this weird behaviour, don't know if

    it's a bug?

     

    I'm using eagle 5.7.0 on Archlinux.

     

    Good morning,

     

    That is odd behavior.  I did a little experimenting this morning and

    found that I could supply eagle with any .sch .epf .brd or .lbr, and it

    starts without complaint.  The elements in Options->Directories did not

    change.

     

    Furthermore, I can:

     

        shell> eagle 513941.sch 513951.brd

     

    and I get a control panel, a schematic editor, and a layout editor windows.

     

    I, too, am using 5.7.0.  I'm running opensuse 11.1, KDE4 window manager.

     

    "uname -a" shows

    Linux lightning 2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-02-22 16:49:47 +0100

    x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

     

    This is a fairly new kernel - I installed it two days ago, but I doubt

    that has anything to do with the behavior exhibited by your installation.

     

    I'm not sure if this provides any useful information.

     

    Enjoy,

        - Chuck

    Hi All,

     

    Thanks for your help so far.

     

    I found the issue now. I'm running archlinux and for some reason the eagle

    package in AUR installs an eagle executable in both /usr/bin/eagle and

    /opt/eagle-5.7.0/bin/eagle. If i run

    /usr/bin/eagle file.sch

    it does the aforementioned weired behaviour, but if i run:

    /opt/eagle-5.7.0/bin/eagle file.sch

    it opens the schematic as it's supposed to.

    I guess it's some sort of packaging issue, so I'll post it in the AUR

    comments.

     

    Cheers, Thomas
