Description

I am unable to select a default connection file to open on startup.

I have tried adding the /c: and /cons: parameters, but these do not work.

“C:\Program Files (x86)\mRemoteNG\mRemoteNG.exe” /c:”C:\OneDrive\path\to\config.xml"

There does not seem be an option for this in the mRemote application.

Am I missing something? Is this possible in the current version? I'm using build 1.77.3 (Nightly Build; 1784)

Thank you,

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported startup command with build 1.77.3 and inspect how the application handles the /c: and /cons: parameters and default connection selection. Done means a specified connection file can be selected and opened on startup using the documented command-line option.
