using workspace definitions when starting by icon
But you may also create a Depeche View Icon on the desktop,
via the Icon button, then open the Icon properties,
and change the Icon's "target" field. For example,
if dview is located in C:\app\bin, you may change it to
C:\app\bin\dview.exe -cfg1 -fileset mywork1.txt
Then, a double click onto that icon will load that workspace.
(-cfg1 is not strictly required, but recommended as it tells
the tool that it's started by an Icon.)
bookmark filename definition with filesets
When using filesets, what will be the bookmark filename?
Just as if you say "-dir mydir1 -dir mydir2" on the commandline,
the first directory tree will be taken to build the bookmark
file base name, all others will be ignored.
In the example
-dir mysrc\baselib
-file .h .c .txt !.hpp !.cpp
-dir mysrc\foobank
-file .hpp .cpp
-dir mysrc\formats
-file -all !.bak
the bookmark filenames would be
mysrc\zz-baselib-bookmarks.1.dvbm
mysrc\zz-baselib-bookmarks.2.dvbm
mysrc\zz-baselib-bookmarks.3.dvbm
...
If you want to locate the bookmarks somewhere else,
use the -book option as described here.
using plain filename lists
Sometimes you may want to load files whose names are listed in a simple text file,
called a file list. This can be done by
dview -flist names.txt
