Command Line

ClearanceClarence edited this page Oct 23, 2026 · 1 revision

SpaceSharp.exe takes a few arguments, for shortcuts, scripts and the Run box. Settings › General › Command line shows the same list inside the app.

Command Does
SpaceSharp.exe Starts normally, on the start screen
SpaceSharp.exe D:\ Scans a drive or folder right away
SpaceSharp.exe --scan D:\ The same, explicit
SpaceSharp.exe scan.sscan Opens a saved scan
SpaceSharp.exe --open scan.sscan The same, explicit
SpaceSharp.exe --compare old.sscan D:\ Scans D:\ and compares it with a saved scan, opening the Changes view
SpaceSharp.exe --help Prints this list (-h and /? work too)

One window. SpaceSharp runs one instance per session. A second launch hands its arguments to the running window over a local named pipe and exits, so SpaceSharp.exe D:\ from Explorer's right-click entry or a script scans in the window you already have open.

The Explorer entry. Settings › General › "Scan with SpaceSharp" in Explorer adds the command to the right-click menu of folders, drives and the folder background, for the current user only.

For developers. --mock starts on a pretend PC with a sample drive and a comparison from yesterday, so every screen has something to show without scanning anything; --scene <name> --shot <file.png> --size 1600x900 poses one of the screenshot scenes and writes it (Building from source).
