Auto Load

When Diamond is started there are several parameters which can be passed to the program.

• −−help
  Contains a list of the available options.

• −−no_autoload
  When this option is specified on startup, Diamond will not preload any files which had been previously open when Diamond was last closed.

• −−no_saveconfig
  Diamond will not save the configuration file. This is useful when Diamond is started with a passed list of filenames. In this case, the open file list (previously open) should usually not be updated.

• [filename] [filename] ...
  Passing a list of files names to Diamond will open these specific files. If 'autoload' is not turned off, then the previously open list of files will be opened in conjunction with the passed list of file names.

Drag & Drop

When a file is dragged and dropped onto Diamond, a new tab will be opened.

Starting Diamond from Total Commander (Windows)

Total Commander has a feature to add buttons to the Button Bar. Once the new button is properly set up, highlighting one or more files and then clicking on the new Diamond button will launch the specified program and automatically open the tagged files.

From the top menu in Total Commander click on 'Configuration' then select 'Button Bar'. Click on the Add button. Enter the following information in Total Commander. The 'command' value needs to indicate the full path when your copy of Diamond.exe is located.
