Hi! I'm getting my hand at work in FreePIE. Currently, I already had produced a good script to solve my main needs for my trackball. Now, I want my script to run each time I logon and, of course, minimized.
I now I can run a script usinr /r after it. but I cannot understand how to have FreePIE minimize itself...
Thanks,
Andrea

Couldn't this be solved with a batch file

Possibly yes, however I'm quite new to Windows - I'm coming from 15 years of Linux and OSX...
I have a batch file which run freepie, open my scripts and execute it. When it launch, it opens a cmd.exe window - which can be minimized through the .lnk properties - but the FreePIE stay open.

Got it. Using Autohotkey I created such a script:
Code: Select all
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
Run, C:\Program Files (x86)\FreePIE\FreePIE.exe my/scripts/full/path.py /r,,Min

You can create a link from Freepie.exe, add the script parameter in the link properties and make it run minimized.
