Open image on Paint 3D Appx thru command line

Question

_{Tuesday, June 12, 2018 12:27 PM}

Hi,

I am working on program that would open Paint 3D with a specific image as background.

System.Diagnostics.Process paintProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
paintProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "Shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MSPaint_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.MSPaint";
paintProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = imgFiltePath + "\background.bmp";

It will open the app without the background. If I change from "Shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MSPaint_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.MSPaint" to "System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.SystemDirectory, "mspaint.exe")", it will work on regular mspaint with the background.bmp for me to edit.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
Tako

Hi,

What I can tell is to open 3D paint using powershell command, however as how to open with a specific image, you have to contact Script Center to help you create a batch file.

Open 3D paint using powershell command line:

start shell:appsfolder\Microsoft.MSPaint_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.MSPaint

To open a file from CMD with Paint 3D

start ms-paint:"C:\Full\Path\File.bmp"

Hope this helps!

It doesn't seem to work :S.

It starts a new Paint3D project.
