The caveat is that it MUST be launched from an elevated (Administrator) process, ironically, even though explorer is not elevated. Perhaps becuase DisplayFusionCommand.exe needs to read the memory of DisplayFusion.exe to grab the wallpaper, and DisplayFusion.exe runs elevated.

Unelevated will NOT work, and no explorer window opens.

Sidenote: This would be easier if it was placed as a copy in the registry, and that REG_SZ was updated for each change.

Anyway thank you!
So basically:

Win + R -->
cmd.exe /c start "" "C:\Program Files\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -WallpaperOpenExplorer
--> Ctrl + Shift + Enter --> Yes ]]> RE: Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#10 Fri, 25 Apr 2025 17:45:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#10 DisplayFusion Can you send me a screenshot of the shortcut command you created? ]]> RE: Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#9 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:01:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#9 DisplayFusion Yes, at least to change the wallpaper profiles. If there are other commands to try or debug logs to grab, just let me know, and I'll give it a go ]]> RE: Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#8 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 17:35:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#8 DisplayFusion Do any other functions work if you run them through the command line? ]]> RE: Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#7 Thu, 24 Apr 2025 01:06:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#7 DisplayFusion Thank you. I have indeed attempted that (64bit Program Files dir) without the mode, just via -wallpaperopenexplorer and while it executes and terminates instantly, no explorer window unfortunutely opens (tested on Win11) ]]> RE: Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#6 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:48:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#6 DisplayFusion Ah I see what you're saying. We cut out the mode arguement when we switched to the command executable. This should be the command you're looking for:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -wallpaperopenexplorer

I tested it here and it worked fine. Make sure the path is pointing to where you have DisplayFusion installed to, it might be in the normal Program Files folder instead of the x86. It will also take the monitor your mouse cursor is on to pull from, so make sure it's on the correct monitor as well. ]]> RE: Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#5 Wed, 23 Apr 2025 04:18:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57#5 DisplayFusion

Opening it via command line isn't something we've supported in the past, no


I thought it previously was?

Just create a desktop shortcut to DisplayFusionSettings.exe, then add the -mode wallpaperopenexplorer to the end of the shortcut target, so it looks like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionSettings.exe" -mode wallpaperopenexplorer

We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it in the future.

The call to open it in explorer is a Windows call, we don't really have any control over it. Sometimes it happens too quick and it tries to jump to the file before explorer is loaded, this isn't much we can do there unfortunately.
Thanks! ]]> Command / CLI to jump to current wallpaper https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57 Thu, 17 Apr 2025 02:46:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/command-cli-to-jump-to-current-wallpaper/?ID=019641a3-b891-7226-bf0d-8f2398483c57 DisplayFusion Hi there. Long time paid user. I would love to know of command to jump to the current wallpaper. I freqently do this with a large set of wallpapers and then save the best. Sometimes a few times a day.

If I know of the correct command, then I can hook it up with Autohotkey.

Looking up the DisplayFusionCommand.exe cmdline args, it doesn't seem to list the older ones that I found
https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/displayfusion-command-line-tool-displayfusioncommandexe/?ID=06d90ec9-5e5a-4be2-8540-6b52fbb4536e

For exmaple:
https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/wallpaper-pause-jumps-to-next-image-show-previous-image-pause/?ID=c6e4a313-8dc5-4242-a0ab-054b14f9ea17
DisplayFusionSettings.exe -mode wallpaperopenexplorer

I attempted
DisplayFusionCommand.exe -mode wallpaperopenexplorer
DisplayFusionCommand.exe -wallpaperopenexplorer
and other combinations without success

Any advice?

Side note:
When done manually there seems to be a bug in the latest version on Windows 11 where it will only jump to the directory at first open. It takes a 2nd 'Open Wallpaper Image in File Explorer' to highlight the file

Side note 2: I'd also love a right click try menu to do this as well. ]]>
