I would like to be able to script the opening of the RAWBInfo window for a given file. In the version of RAWBInfo I found on aminet, the AutodocArt has this little quote:

Code:

EXTRAS
 The Installer script automatically installs an command called
 WBInfo to your C: drawer. This command allows you to open an
 icon information window from a shell. WBInfo takes the following
 arguments: FILE=DRAWER=OBJECT/M/A,PUBSCREEN/K.
 Where FILE,DRAWER or OBJECT is/are the object(s) to get information
 on and PUBSCREEN the screen where the window should be opened
 (defaults to Workbench).

On my clean 3.2 install, that file is not present in sys:c. even though this aminet version is covered in warnings about 3.5 being required, AS A TEST, I dropped that file into my c: dir, and I can start up RAWBInfo with it. Seems to be stable from workbench.

When I open that from my file manager app, the first pane ("File") is fine, but the 2nd pane ("Icon") will bomb to guru as soon as I click it. Not sure what's going on there. It might not like running from my public screen, dunno.

But main question: what happened to WBInfo? is there any other way to programmatically start up RAWBinfo and pass it a file to display?
