The OS4X Webaccess electron client is a native app for supported operating systems, offering features like:

  • Automatic username fill-in
  • Automatic language detection, based on the operating system

The OS4X Webaccess electron client can be installed anywhere in the filesystem, accessible by the user. We deliver the package as a ZIP archive which can be extracted anywhere. Typical installations in Windows environments are in the target path

%PROGRAMFILES%

Parameters

When starting the client interactively, it will ask for a OS4X Webaccess 6 URL (earlier versions of OS4X Webaccess are not supported). The client verifies the correctness of the OS4X Webaccess instance and indicates errors if it is not compatible.

URL

The URL can be passed with the parameter

-u
--url

If no other parameters are passed, this parameter can be also passed without indication, solely as the only parameter.

Examples:

"C:\Program Files\OS4X_Webaccess6.0.0-win\OS4X Webaccess.exe" -u http://os4x-server/webaccess
"C:\Program Files\OS4X_Webaccess6.0.0-win\OS4X Webaccess.exe" --url http://os4x-server/webaccess
"C:\Program Files\OS4X_Webaccess6.0.0-win\OS4X Webaccess.exe" http://os4x-server/webaccess

Title

The default window title "OS4X Webaccess 6" can be overridden with the parameter

-t
--title

If set, this parameter must be the first parameter of the program. Examples:

"C:\Program Files\OS4X_Webaccess6.0.0-win\OS4X Webaccess.exe" -t "Alternative title" --url http://os4x-server/webaccess
"C:\Program Files\OS4X_Webaccess6.0.0-win\OS4X Webaccess.exe" --title "Alternative title" --url http://os4x-server/webaccess

Menu bar

The most important tasks can be accessed via the menu bar or via shortcuts. These depend on the configuration of the OS4X Webaccess functionalities dynamically:

Automatic decompression

Archive files are analyzed if required (users can turn off this feature), so when an archive is being identified, the client asks the user for permission to extract it. Each compressed archive will be extracted in a subdirectory if the extracted file (without suffix).

When checking the checkbox "Don't ask again", the buttons have the following meaning:

  • Yes: extraction will be done automatically for every file, now and in the future.
  • No: no extraction will be done ever.

Users can change this configuration via the "File" -> "Settings" menu entry:
