Desktop only (Windows/macOS/Linux) - there's no equivalent launch mechanism on iOS/Android. These exist for an unattended/kiosk deployment: one PC running a single project's fill-out form in a car-lot window, with no way for a customer to browse other projects or reach anything used to build the document.
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
-load "{project}" |
Open {project} directly at startup, instead of resuming the last-opened project. |
--no-authoring |
Hide "Edit Project Files" from the overflow menu and the per-row edit icon on the Projects list. |
--no-project-select |
Hide "Select Project" from the overflow menu. |
Combine them freely - a typical kiosk shortcut looks like:
yatate.exe -load "window-sticker" --no-authoring --no-project-select
Notes
{project}is a name, not a path - it's resolved against whatever folder Settings currently points at, same as picking it from the Projects list.- If the named project doesn't exist (or fails validation), the app falls back silently to its normal startup behavior (resume the last-opened project, or show the Projects list) rather than getting stuck on an error - so a bad shortcut doesn't strand the kiosk.
-loaddoesn't change what "last opened project" means for a normal (non--load) launch - each launch that includes it resolves fresh from the flag.- Even with
--no-project-select, a load-error screen (a broken/missing project) still offers a way back to the Projects list - that's a deliberate exception, so a kiosk can't lock itself into a fully dead end with literally no recovery path.
