Command line parameters for testing

/NewIni=SettingsTest.cfg - always create (and use) new SettingsTest.cfg settings file

/Ini=SettingsTest.cfg - use existing SettingsTest.cfg settings file

/NoDialogs - do not show any diaogs at first start (if using new settings file)

/NoPlugins - disable plugins

/NoModules - disable modules

/Lng=English - start DD with English.ini language file

Two parameters - newini and ini are needed when we must test the bug with default settings and restart DD.

All these parameters would be useful when testing with default settings, no plugins, modules... No need to enter DD folder, rename cfg file, other folders, confirming many dialogs at each start with default settings, then enter DD folder again and rename all files/folders back after testing.

Thanks.

Sorry, but I think there are many most important things to do before :wink:

NB : For all of this features you can create a batch file (just create a settings.cfg for each combined option and create a batch file to rename and copy those settings files)

It's just a suggestion, I didn't say it's the most important thing. :wink:

Let Rel decide, perhaps it's (much) easier to implement, than other features and it would save a lot of time to (beta) testers - and perhaps also to Rel.

Right, that's why I've put a :wink: at the end of my sentence.
