Lauching application from an icon
in [Mathematica]
|
From: Chris Degnen on 11 Jun 2010 07:58 Is there some way to start a Mathematica application from an icon? I tried using a batch file to no avail, e.g. @echo off "C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\7.0\Mathematica.exe" - run KernelExecute[Get["MyPrograms`StartDialog`"]] There are only two command-line options shown here:- http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/program/Mathematica.html
From: Chris Degnen on 25 Jun 2010 07:27 I have still found no way to launch a Mathematica application in the front-end, directly from an icon (or via cmd). On a previous thread: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/thread/022d34bca79f6375?pli=1 the following were suggested, but they don't work. Any ideas? (cmd line) start foo.nb containing: UsingFrontEnd[ nb = NotebookOpen["MYFILETOEXECUTE.nb"]; SelectionMove[nb, All, Notebook]; FrontEndTokenExecute[nb, "EvaluateCells"]; ] or MathKernel -noprompt -run "(*some command*);Quit[]" On Jun 11, 12:58 pm, Chris Degnen <deg...(a)cwgsy.net> wrote: > Is there some way to start a Mathematica application from an icon? > I tried using a batch file to no avail, e.g. > > @echo off > "C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\7.0\Mathematica.exe" - > run KernelExecute[Get["MyPrograms`StartDialog`"]] > > There are only two command-line options shown here:- > > http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/program/Mathematica.html
From: Chris Degnen on 26 Jun 2010 03:09 Hi David, I simply mean launch an icon and evaluate cells in one go. For instance, by a command from the command line, which could be put in a batch file.

From: David Park on 26 Jun 2010 03:14 What do you mean by: "launch a Mathematica application...directly from an icon"? It is specific notebooks that are "launched" by Mathematica. In Windows, at least, you can simply drag a notebook to the desktop and create an icon. When you double-click the icon the notebook will open. I suppose one could also put the notebook on the task bar and open it with a single click. (The notebook itself might have initialization cells that load any packages in the application, and maybe even bring up the main documentation guide page.) Often, when I am working on some project that has many notebooks in a folder, I create a shortcut icon for the folder on the desktop. It's easy to create these and then delete them when you are no longer using them. I don't know if that is what you are thinking of. I also have a shortcut icon on my desktop that links to a folder that contains links to the common folders that I often use. I also have a CurrentBackup folder on my desktop (not a shortcut) where I can copy current notebooks I am working on as a temporary backup between system or DVD backups.

I'm betting one of these is what you want... SystemOpen[] enables you to open any system file, including notebooks. For example: SystemOpen["C:\Users\x61Tablet\Desktop\\temp.nb"] and you could set cells in that as initialization cells, etc. You might also want to set the notebook up to evaluate in a separate Context[] so as not to conflict with existing definitions in Global`. -RG
