Mixing Command-Line Flags and MapInfo EasyLoader Window Options

Command-line flags may be mixed with the MapInfo EasyLoader user interface by using a Windows shortcut. This makes it easier to set flags as your default while being able to override them from the interface. These flags are only available from the command-line.

To create a shortcut for MapInfo EasyLoader that includes preset flags:
  1. Right-click on the MapInfoEasyLoader.exe file and then select Send to and Desktop (create shortcut). The resulting file saves to your desktop.

    To place in a different location, right-click and select Create shortcut, and then move the resulting shortcut file.

  2. Right-click the shortcut file and select Properties to open the Shortcut Properties dialog.
  3. On the Shortcut tab, within the Target edit box, add command-line flags to the end of the path. Separate the flags with spaces.

To have the flags take effect, launch MapInfo EasyLoader using this shortcut. You can override the settings by changing them in the MapInfo EasyLoader window.
