| Summary | 0003443: FreeCAD should ignore 'create new document at startup' if given files at command-line | ||||
| Description | As per this forum thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=28178 FreeCAD currently (0.17.12852 (Git)) pedantically adheres to the 'create new document at startup' preference. Even when specifying which files to open at the command-line. Probably, it should not open a new document when being told what to open otherwise; even when that preference is set to true. Alternatively, if that suggestion is not an acceptable change in behavior, I'd suggest adding a command-line flag or syntax to override the behavior of the preference from the command-line. Use case quoted from above: I am pipelining FreeCAD into a larger content management system. I have it to the point that my system opens FreeCAD via command-line and specifies a file to open in that command-line. However, when I open FreeCAD this way, it pedantically adheres to the preference for, "create new document at startup." That is to say: I end up with two files open if this preference is set to True. First, the one I specified on the command-line, and also a new, "Unnamed" file. And yes, if I turn off that preference, I get just the file on the command-line without the "Unnamed" file. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Turn on the user preference: Create New Document at Startup Close FreeCAD Open a command-line and use it to start FreeCAD specifying a file to open on the command-line You will see it creates a new "Unnamed" document along side the one it opened. | ||||
