Commandline parameters

DEON can be started with the following commandline parameters:

-pad

Example:
C:\Program Files\Deon\Deon.exe -pad

-server

-url <Project-URL>
Loads a specific Project on startup.
Example:
“C:\Program Files\Deon\Deon.exe” -url https://cloud.deon.eu/Web/l/Name?2b573660-3464-40aa-9876-374186f910a6
Note: The Project-URL can also target certain items inside a Project. The Project will then automatically zoom to these items after loading. Check here how you can get the Project-URL.

-present
Starts DEON in Presentationmode, loads the topmost Presentationpath from the beginning and starts it automatically.

-uiless
(Use in combination with -url)
Puts DEON in fullscreen without UI after loading the Project

-multi
Allows you to start multiple independent instances of DEON. This is especially helpful if you want to use different versions of DEON in parallel. Without this parameter DEON would use a spare process of an already running instance instead of starting a new one.
With -multi DEON will start without a persistant Homescreen and without the System Tray icon.
To leave the Project and get back to the Homescreen you have to click the “Home” button in the top left corner of the Project Toolbar.
When opening a Project from that Homescreen, the Homescreen will disappear.
To open multiple Projects at the same time in this mode, you have to start additional DEON instances.

-nochanges
Changes in a Project won’t be highlighted after the Project is loaded.
Note: Works only if a certain project is loaded by using the -url parameter.

-trace
Activates tracing to collect log data.
