There’s also a small helper application with the Windows version of LightBurn that will take care of either running the app or passing a file to it, if that’s what you want it for.
Calling C:\Program Files\LightBurn\SendUDP.exe “” will load LightBurn with that file if it isn’t already running, or tell the running instance of it to load that file.
SendUDP returns a status of:
- 0 if LightBurn was not running and was launched.
- 1 if no file argument was given, but LightBurn was running already
- 2 if LightBurn was running and was sent the filename to load
This was made to simplify writing export tools like the Corel macro.
