Command Line

Applying layouts via the command line

This has been a requested feature since the release of Windows Layout Manager version 1.0.0.0 and has been implemented in version 1.1.0.0.

To apply a layout via the command line you can use the following syntax:

       WinLayoutManager.exe [layout name]

Where [layout name] is the full name of the layout.

If you are using spaces in your layout name, put them in quotes, like:

       WinLayoutManager.exe "My Special Layout"

Note: You might want to disable the restoration dialog from the configuration options if you will be using the command line. Otherwise the restore dialog will default to restore after the specified number of seconds.

Note: If Windows Layout Manager is already running (possibly in the tray) the layout will be applied but the main application window will not be brought to the desktop.

Note: If Windows Layout Manager is not already running the layout will be applied but the main application will not be started.
