Start VC in Standby Mode

[nofear87]

james, is it possible to add this function in the next version?
i think its helpfull when somebody (like me  ) will start VC with Windows.
Or this function already exist?

I was wondering the same thing

[jitterjames]

yup! Star it with the command line option

VoxCommando.exe -Standby

or

VoxCommando.exe -Off

(It is currently case sensitive - I should fix that)

[nofear87]

is it possible to add it in the settingswindow as checkbox? (in the next version)

[jitterjames]

I don't think I want to do that. Is there some reason you cannot call it with the command line option? That does remind me though, I think I will add the ability to run a startup macro. You could set the mode there.

[nofear87]

yes thats also nice

this only works if you use the shortcut itself, pinning the shortcut to windows 7 taskbar and running it doesn't seem to run it in standby mode :S

[jitterjames]

it works fine for me.  Right-click the icon on the taskbar (when the program is NOT running)

you should get two choices

then right-click the voxcommando.exe that pops up and choose properties

add -Standby to the end of target field.  It should look something like:

C:\VoxCommandoDebug\VoxCommando.exe -Standby

note that you need the - and it is case sensitive so you need the capital S

Ah you're right, i dragged an already modified shortcut to the taskbar rather then modifying it when the shortcut was allready placed on the taskbar as you suggested.

[jitterjames]

btw you can also set this modifying the options.  look at the section called "triggered speech emulation" at the bottom right of the main tab.  There is a field called "starup command".  There you can type a phrase that matches the phrase you use for Standby in your command tree.

The command line option is safer though I think.
