Open workbench drawer window from shell
Is there a Shell command to open a Workbench drawer window? Something similar to "start" command for Windows.

It can definitely be done through ARexx on newer OS versions. Have a look at T.H.E. (or its slightly older version).
Not sure about a straight shell command... |
Yes the Arexx script is "OpenSelDrawer" but it does not open the subfolders well.
From CLI you can use WBRun that works well, a few examples: WBRun DH0: WBRun DH0:Prefs WBRun DH0:Prefs/Presets |
When I use WBRun to open a drawer I get the below error:
4.System:> WBRun System: Couldn't Load "System:" object is not of required type. I did try it on other drawers but I get the same error. I have Workbench 3.1 and WBRun works fine when I use it to open some application from CLI. Quote:

There is a short ARexx script (s/win) in BB3&4 that does the same thing, but can also be used without any arguments if desired, in which case it will use the current directory.
@Sim085: I don't think there is any way to do it on OS3.1, as WB did not have the necessary interface until OS3.5. Maybe time to upgrade ;-) |
:crying
So an Arexx script would also not work on Workbench 3.1 as the feature is not supported at OS level. Is this correct? Quote:
|
Yes, that is correct. Alternative you can use DOpus5 what comes with an ARexx Port that is able to open directories.

@Sim085
As already mentioned OS3.1 is an obsolete system, OS 3.9 is the best way to have a Modern Workbench, where all applications work without having to look for the patch, which often happens with OS 3.1. |

Yes very right Thomas, I use all Amiga systems, but when you want to have particular functions it is better to opt for a more modern OS, then you can also have two or more systems ;)
