wbrun on a1200 / wb 3.1

[tnk2k]

L.S.,

I'm trying to start .info files from dopus using wbrun i keep on getting the error 'object is not supported type'.

This is for .info files, i run the command like

'wbrun Gauntlet.info'

when in the appropiate directory, the command in dopus is:

'wbrun {F}' but i receive the same error when i run 'wbrun copy' i do get the wb popup.

Anybody have a pointer?

Thanks for your reply.

Hope that will work but it doesn't make sense to me. The actual command is in the .info itself?

'whdload blabla.slave'

So i figure(d) wbrun strips this first part from the .info and then runs it.

But you say wbrun takes the Filename without extension as argument and than what?

OK, can somebody please explain me what i'm missing here?

OK,

Let's take this example, Ganymed:

root@localtoast:~/g# ls -Rl
.:
total 72664
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root     4096 2007-12-07 23:32 Ganymed
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      900 2007-12-07 23:31 Ganymed.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 74321910 2008-09-18 11:40 WHDLoad Games Pack G - 2007-12-20.zip

./Ganymed:
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 2007-12-07 23:34 data
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20035 2007-12-07 23:32 Ganymed.info
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3528 2002-08-11 23:47 Ganymed.Slave
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1692 2002-08-11 23:47 ReadMe
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  1396 2007-12-07 23:31 ReadMe.info


I guess the first Ganymed.info is the actual icon itself:

root@localtoast:~/g# file Ganymed.info
Ganymed.info: Amiga Workbench drawer icon

But the 2nd Ganymed.info contains the following:

root@localtoast:~/g# file Ganymed/Ganymed.info
Ganymed/Ganymed.info: Amiga Workbench project icon

And when i hexread the 2nd i see smth like:

"WHDLoad SLAVE=Ganymed.slave PRELOAD"

Perhaps it makes more sense to explain the problem. I want to run the games from within DOPUS without having to go back to the workbench and click the icon?

This is still not what i mean.

OK. From scatch, let's say i extract Ganymed to my ram. If i now browse to my RAM i see this Ganymed icon, this is the 1st icon right? How does WB know that it has to 'cd' to the directory Ganymed ?

Than i click again:the Ganymed Icon. (i reckon this is the 2nd icon). Now what's happening under the hood?

[tnk2k]

Thanks. To get things 'clear'. However:

ram:
----
Ganymed
Ganymed.info <- how does WB know to open the directory 'ganymed if i click this?


directory :
--------------------
data
Ganymed.info <- if i click this icon from workbench, the game starts, now how do i start this process from dopus? i want the additional parameters that are parsed in the Ganymed.info to be read aswell.
Ganymed.Slave
ReadMe
ReadMe.info
