      2013 Make added a Start dialog that opens even when I put a SketchUp project file on the command line. Is there a way to skip that? It's main purpose seems to be to get users to buy the pro version, which I can't afford and don't need.

        I believe that's one of the features of the free version is you get to look at the splash screen every time it starts up. No way to turn it off except in the pro version. I guess it's like the ads you have to listen to on Spotify if you don't buy a subscription. At least it only happens at the beginning and not several times an hour.

            It shows an html page which is stored in the SketchUp program folder… We could replace it by something that is more useful (and more productive), like an iframe with SketchUcation.

            But for command line processing, it is indeed an unconsidered obstacle (though SketchUp doesn't officially support its command line interface).

              I'd rather skip it.

                Can you make an html page that opens and immediately closes itself using js ?
                Something like...

                <html>
                <head>
                </head>
                <body onOpen="window.opener=self; window.close();">
                </body>
                </html>
