9.7 Execute File (Outgoing)

The Execute File outgoing action type lets you define an executable file with

parameters to run as a resultant outgoing action. Enter the executable file

name with path in the File Name text box, along with any parameters you

would like to pass to it in the Parameters text box (usually surrounded by

quotation marks).

Opening Documents

In the File to Execute field, you can specify a document instead of a

program (see the screenshot above). In that case, the associated program

will open the given document. For example, you can enter the filename of a

PDF document in the Filename field. Now executing this action will start the

default PDF viewer and let it open the PDF document. In this case, any

given Parameters are ignored.

Relative Filename path

If the file to be executed is located in the same folder of your project file, or

in a sub folder, it's recommended to use a relative filename (e.g.

“apps/MyApp.exe”). That way, it will be much easier to use the preset on a

different computer.
