Feature request for command line usage

[Highend]

Hi bazis,

Atm we only have vmnt.exe <imagename.xxx>
It mounts the image if it isn't mounted already and dismounts it if it was mounted.

Maybe you can extend the options for the command line usage a bit more?

I'll show you a few examples:
vmnt.exe -mount [<drive letter> | <imagename.xxx>]
- vmnt.exe -mount test.iso
-> You can mount an image (test.iso) without a drive letter (that the standard behaviour of WinCDEmu is used (take the first available drive letter))
- vmnt.exe -mount V: test.img
-> You can mount an image (test.img) to a drive letter (in this case V:) of your choice (if it's not occupied at the moment)

vmnt.exe -unmount [<drive letter> | <imagename.xxx> | <all>]
- vmnt.exe -unmount test.iso
-> Checks which image with the name test.iso is mounted and dismounts it
- vmnt.exe -unmount V:
-> Checks if any image is mounted to this drive letter and dismounts it
- vmnt.exe -unmount all
-> Checks which images are mounted and dismount them all

Maybe an -f switch (for force) would be helpfull to dismount images regardless if there are any files or folders open on that device.

These command line options would allow us to use WinCDEmu e.g. from batch scripts where we mount our favorite images all at once (and dismount them later).

Nice idea. I'll implement it in one of the further versions.

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

one question: Is this feature already implemented?
I have downloaded the current version of WinCDEmu today.

Best Regards

[bazis]

Not yet. However, will be soon.

If the ideas from the OP could be implemented this would basically be perfect for me. Hope it gets included in future updates!

Cool! WinCDEmu Command Line in the works already, I'm ready to beta test it!

Can't wait a single day to test it (really, I need this for yesterday). Some beta/alpha/development/preview version out there?

WinCDEmu 3.x supports extended command line options

Are the command line switches somewhere documented?
