Add documentation for Files command line

Andret2344 opened this issue · comments

What's the Problem?

I'm writing a custom tool that has the possibility to open file's localization in the Files app (parallelly to explorer.exe) and have no idea how to do some certain things.

Solution/Idea

Somewhere should be a developer's documentation, e.g. information I need:

  • On opening window/tab from command line, how to immediately select some file?
  • How to check (in the most lightweight possible way) if Files is installed?

Alternatives

Reading the code...?

Priorities

Capability Priority
Explain how to do particular most common things from command line Must
Explain ALL the possibilities from command line Could
Lack real samples Won't

Files Version

Version: 2.3.0.0

Windows Version

Windows 10.0.22000.708

Alternatively/in addition we could show the help when typing "files /?" or "files -h"

Totally agree, this would be sufficient, because now we don't know what can be done and how

Uops no apparently UWP apps can't print stuff to Console. Only solution is a documentation page (either on site or in-app).

That would work for anyone in need of information. Can't wait to see it deployed anywhere
