<h2>1. <a name="presenta">Presentation</a></h2>
<p>When launching Double Commander executable we may specify some command line parameters to customize our start up.</p>
<p>For example, we may specify the directories that will be displayed in the file panels.</p>
<p>There are some switches that may be used as well.</p>
<p>These switches are NOT case sensitive.</p>
<BR>
<p>Here is a summary description of the syntax of what's possible in the command line:<p>
<p><code>doublecmd.exe [-C] [-T] [-P L|R] [path1\subpath1] [path2\subpath2]</code></p>
<BR>
<p>An alternative form is also possible like this one:<p>
<p><code>doublecmd.exe [-C] [-T] [-P L|R] [-L path1\subpath1] [-R path2\subpath2]</code></p>

<p>If there is already existing instance, and the current one is not a client, (i.e. Allow only one copy of DC at a time is false and no <code>--client/-c</code> options were given), then user-provided servername is altered: firstly, just add a trailing number "2".</p>
<p>If there is already some trailing number, then increase it by 1, until we found a servername that isn't busy yet, and then create instance with this servername.</p>

<h2>3.1. <a name="examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>Here is a few examples of wanted behaviors that could be done via command line parameters when launching Double Commander.</p>
<BR>
<p>Open the directory <code>e:\Xilinx\ISE DS</code> in the left panel and the directory <code>c:\temp</code> in the right one:</p>
<pre>doublecmd.exe "e:\Xilinx\ISE DS" c:\temp</pre>
<BR>
<p>Open directory <code>c:\Logs</code> in a new tab in the active panel of and already running instance of Double Commander:</p>
<pre>doublecmd.exe -c -t c:\Logs</pre>
<BR>
<p>Start application with configuration files from directory <code>f:\Documents\DC\Job Settings</code> with the mention <code>JOB</code> in the title bar of application:</p>
<pre>doublecmd.exe --config-dir="f:\Documents\DC\Job Settings" --servername="JOB"</pre>
