[SOLVED] Launch specific .izz file

videndum

Heya,

So i have a problem when double clicking or running a script to open a specific izz file, isadora doesn't seam to open the file and instead shows a blank isadora project. So bellow is the file which is in my startup called "startup.bat"

@echo off

cd "...\Documents\Isadora"
start Latest.izz
exit

I don't want to use the "launch last project" option as we have unstable builds of our project which are developed on the same server as the demo is shown on. This means that we need to open an exact Isadora file when we send startup the server.

So I could do with an answer to why we can't get this to work and if it's intentional (not a bug) how can we work around this?

@mark asked me to relay the following information:

Problem 1) the "..." before "\Documents\Isadora" is illegal

Problem 2) You should use an explicit path for the the cd command. On my machine this was cd "C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Isadora"

This was the script that worked for Mark:

@echo off
cd "C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Isadora"
start Latest.izz
exit

Many thanks, however the script wasn't the issue. I modified it when posting to remove personal data and information about the user.

The issue is that when that script is run, Isadora loads a blank project rather then the project file we have referenced within that script. I spoke to @Skulpture during lectures today and he has been seeing the same issue double clicking the file to launch it (which i have managed to replicate on my server).

I too get this issue. Clicking on a file just opens a blank project, I then need to open it again under File -> Open for the correct project to open.

Using the Mac USB edition

These gentlemen are students of Skulpture and identified a bug in a beta version. This bug does not exist in the current release version (2.6.1) of Isadora.

Is this on a beta? Or in 2.6.1?

@Skulpture

This has been handled elsewhere. It was the Beta that was causing the issue.

@Skulpture @Woland I can confirm that I get this issue on my personal machine running 2.6.1

Just tested on Mac with USB Version of Isadora. You are experiencing that issue because Adobe Creative Cloud is open. Close Adobe Creative Cloud (as recommended by the popup) and Isadora will open the file as expected.

Best wishes,
