In this document, we will show you how to create a Google Chrome shortcut that directly launches a panel.
Description
This is only for Google Chrome and assumes your copy of Chrome is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe.
If your Chrome version is installed in a different location, you will need to change this configuration accordingly.
Set the Target (32bit version of Chrome):
Your target properties need to look like this example. The only differences are the IP address of YOUR Pathfinder Core Pro and the panel=<yourpanelname> property. We suggest you copy and paste this entirely, including the beginning and ending quotes.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app="data:text/html,<html><body><script>window.location='http://Admin:Admin@192.168.2.10/userpanelframemin.php?panel=Fusion&page=index';</script></body></html>"
Or:
Set the Target (64bit version of Chrome):
The location of Chrome.exe may be different on your system if now using the 64bit version. The example below shows the same example as above with the path updated
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app="data:text/html,<html><body><script>window.location='http://Admin:Admin@192.168.2.10/userpanelframemin.php?panel=Fusion&page=index';</script></body></html>"
Start IN (32bit version of Chrome):
Set the Start In property like this. Change this if this is NOT where your copy of Chrome is installed.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"
Or
Start IN (64bit version of Chrome):
The location of Chrome.exe may be different on your system if now using the 64bit version. The example below shows the same example as above with the path updated
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
If you always want the Panel to launch in the same place on the screen you can add another option: window.moveTo(580,240). For example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app="data:text/HTML,<HTML><body><script> window.moveTo(580,240); window.location='http://Admin:Admin@172.16.1.220/userpanelframemin.php?panel=ttt&page=index';</script></body></HTML>"
