Title: use of command line in another application
Post by diamonddrake on Jan 7^th, 2011, 8:39am

I have been working on an application that allows you to switch your desktop folder with another folder temporarily to create a virtual desktop space for you to work in while working on projects. I have every intention of trying to write my own save/restore functionality in .net because when i changed desktops, it resets the icon positions.

Here's where the question comes in, If i fail miserably. how would you feel about me including your desktop save and restore commandline edition with my application and calling it silently? i would of course throw you credit in the about box.

Like i said, I'm going to try to do this myself first, But I would love to be able to fall back on this working solution if I fail.

Well, using your Programming description and a few other references I got it working. It doesn't work as yours, because I don't handle duplicate titles, or special named folders yet. I'm just thrilled I made some progress
