Windows 10: How to start Microsoft Photos from command line?

Thank you so much for the reply, Do u have any example of how to do it?

 

Hi All,
Could you please help:
I am able to open Windows 10 Photos using below code, I do not know how to open a particular image (using image name)

private static void OpenSamplePhoto()
{
string samplePicturesFolder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "Sample_Pictures");
string picturePath = Path.Combine(samplePicturesFolder, "sample1.JPG");

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
info.FileName = @"ms-photos://";
info.UseShellExecute = true;
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.Verb = string.Empty;

Process.Start(info);
}

 

Hi, a basic clue- universal apps as you know do not use exe files, nor do they take parameters.

 

Hello,
Could you please help:
I am able to open a particular image with below code, however I am NOT able to navigate to Next or Previous image using buttons from that particular image ("sample1.JPG"),

I request your help: I am sure, why the Next and Previous buttons are disabled.

private static void OpenSamplePhoto()
{
string samplePicturesFolder = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments), "Sample_Pictures");

string picturePath = Path.Combine(samplePicturesFolder, "sample1.JPG");

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
info.WorkingDirectory = samplePicturesFolder;
info.FileName = @Path.Combine("ms-photos://", picturePath);
info.UseShellExecute = true;
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.Verb = string.Empty;

Process.Start(info);
}

 

Hi,

This thread is quite old, but I'm just discovering the"start" command:

• start ms-photos: to launch the application
• start <myphoto.jpg>: to display the file with the default application

it works also for any registered type of files (like open in *nix) !
