open&save dialog box

Hi all,
Is there anyway to disable the dialog box that appears when you attempt to open another file? Older versions used to just immediately open however the dialog box that asks me to 'open&save' etc is causing me some issues.
If not disable, is there any solution to bypassing this input requirement?
Many thanks

You can use C:\Program Files\Resolume Arena\Arena.exe --suppressCompositionChangeConfirmation \path\to\composition.avc form a command line on windows.

Thanks I just tried this but the dialog box still appears asking me to open/cancel/open&save.
For reference I'm using:
Arena 7.3.2
Windows 10 LTSC
Is there any documentation on command line suppression as this approach would be an appropriate workaround if we can get it to work.
Many thanks

What's your command line exactly?

Good morning,
When I try the supplied command, it complains it is not a recognised command.
When I add start to the front of it, it will execute but the dialog box still appears.

Can you post some screenshots of how you try it, because it works for me fine.
I guess if you use start, then Start will think it's an option for it, and not Resolume.

I've just tried this again and it's working now, I must have typo'd somewhere.
Thank you very much for your assistance! This command works and bypasses the dialog box.
