Command Line Arguments

In addition to running a particular SimpleIndex Job Configuration with a command line script, other features might be required. This could be stopping dialogs from turning on, suppressing dialog boxes or passing the input or output folder to the Job. Below you will find some of the commands that can be added to the standard command line that SimpleIndex uses.

Start with the traditional full command line to run SimpleIndex, which you can find here:

“C:\Program Files (x86)\SimpleIndex\SimpleIndex.exe” /c:”<Path to Job>”

In this example /c: is the command to direct what Job Configuration is used, but I have listed more below. Each new argument should be separated by a space.

1. /q = Prevents certain dialog boxes from appearing that require a manual click.
2. /s = Prevents other dialog boxes from appearing that require a manual click.
3. /i: = Set the specific Input Folder you would like to import files from.
   EX. “C:\Program Files (x86)\SimpleIndex\SimpleIndex.exe” /c:”<C:\Images\Scan Files.sic>” /i:”C:\Images\Input”
4. /o: = Set the specific Output Folder you would like to import files from.
   EX. “C:\Program Files (x86)\SimpleIndex\SimpleIndex.exe” /c:”<C:\Images\Scan Files.sic>” /i:”C:\Images\Output”
5. /d:15 = Set Processing Log to highest level and turn on log output. This will turn on the Processing Log, without having to do it manually.
