Command-line syntax

Ultra Recall can be launched from the command-line (the Run dialog, a Command Prompt, a Windows shortcut, etc.) with the following options:

file.urd	Open the specified Ultra Recall Info Database. If not provided, the active database will be used (if already started) or the most recently opened (if any) database will be reopened.
/newinstance	Starts a new instance of Ultra Recall if Allow opening multiple instances is enabled.
/forcenewinstance	Always starts a new instance of Ultra Recall.
/readonly	Open the specified database read-only (database must not already be open in Ultra Recall)
/item	Navigate to the specified Info Item (specified by its ItemID system attribute or comma-separated lineage of self+ancestor item IDs)
/insertchild	Insert a new child item into the tree with the default child template
/insertsibling	Insert a new sibling item into the tree with the default child template of the parent
/search	Initiate a search on the specified text
/url	Open the specified file or URL in Ultra Recall
/newtab	Opens the specified item or URL in a new tab
/import	Create an Ultra Recall Info Item linked to the file(s) or URL(s)
/importdup	Create an Ultra Recall Info Item, storing the file(s) or URL(s) contents
/importclip	Create an Ultra Recall Info Item from the clipboard contents
/linkoutlook	Create Ultra Recall Info Items linked to the currently selected Outlook object(s) (emails, appointments, etc.)
/copyoutlook	Create stored Ultra Recall Info Items for the currently selected Outlook object(s)
/moveoutlook	Create stored Ultra Recall Info Items for the currently selected Outlook object(s), removing from Outlook
/sync	Synchronize the item
/export	Export the item using the specified export settings
/exit	Exit the active Ultra Recall instance. Applies only by itself or with the import, export or outlook flags.

The Item | Copy Item Command-Line menu item can be used to generate the command-line for opening the selected Info Item (the format is configured on the Miscellaneous Options tab of the Options Dialog). And the Item | Create Desktop Shortcut menu item can be used to create a Windows desktop shortcut to open the selected Info Item.

Ultra Recall also supports a URL syntax for opening a database to a specific item within the database. This URL syntax can be used from the Windows Shell (the Run Dialog, Explorer, etc.) or other applications that support a URL for accessing applications and documents. To create this URL syntax, see the notes in the help topic for the Miscellaneous Options tab of the Options Dialog.

Notes:

•	Microsoft Outlook must be running and have a current selection for the Outlook flags to operate correctly

•	When a command-line initiated import is finished, a sound is played by Ultra Recall to indicate completion

•	Outlook import, sync, and export operations are available in the Professional edition only.
