My application is an Electron.js app
I type this command in the terminal to open a file with my app:
open "/Users/Bob/Pictures/test.jpg" -a myApp
In my process.argv I get an Apple event, something like '-psn_0_#######', How do I use this event to get the jpg?
On windows you parse process.argv (in the main process) to get the filepath. but on mac you need to listen to the 'open-file' event. This can be done like this:
app.on('will-finish-launching', () => {
app.on('open-file', (event, path) => {
// do something
});
});
