Hi all.

I am just wondering if is it possible to configure RViz such that when I start it, it will start automatically with a specific config file.

In advance thank you.

well, I found out that saving the configuration as a default.rviz, next time I open it, it will automatically load the configuration :)

That's only valid when you're using the same machine (+ same user account) since the config last time is saved into `~/.rviz`. For more robustness, use @Tones's suggestion or create a `.launch`.

What if I have changed user and want to edit the default config? Is there a way to do that?

@kipr please refrain from asking a new question in `comment` area (forum contributors won't find it as a new question easily). Please open a new question with more info.

Use the command line parameter -d <arg> at startup. <arg> is the path to your .vcg-file:

rosrun rviz rviz -d <arg>
