If you wish to open a specific folder when WinCatalog starts, use the -ShowInCatalog (-sic) key:

-ShowInCatalog

-sic

Path to the disk, folder or file in catalog should be set in -CatalogPath (-cp) parameter:

-CatalogPath “path in the catalog file”

-cp “path in the catalog file”

Using the -CatalogPath (-cp) you should specify the root (called Catalog by default) folder in the path.

Examples:

WinCatalog.exe –ShowInCatalog –CatalogPath “Catalog\Folder”

Start WinCatalog, open default catalog file (most recently opened), navigate to the “Catalog\Folder” folder in case if the folder exists.

WinCatalog.exe –o “d:\my catalog.w3cat” –sic –cp “Catalog\Folder\picture.jpg”

Start WinCatalog, open the “d:\my catalog.w3cat” catalog file, navigate to the “Catalog\Folder” folder (because picture.jpg is a file, WinCatalog will open the parent folder).
