Feature request: start in live or show mode only

Post by Vicstr »

Since we are using D4 for lightshows in church We don't want anyone to edit the shows and it would be very helpful if being able to start D4 in showmode only by sending command line arguments to the exe file.
Example:
DasLight4.exe /showonly
and for force readonly for any opened file:
DasLight4.exe /readonly

By doing that we'll be able to have a separate shortcut icon on the desktop which makes DasLight open directly in showmode

Hey Vicstr,

If you want to open your software in SHOW Mode only, you could just close it while being in SHOW Mode. It'll start in the same Mode and you can just press "Lock" to only allow the use of this mode.
We also have an option in the preference window to open the software in fullscreen SHOW Mode.

Regards,
TomHat

To add to what Tom suggested, here are some screenshots which may help.
