Hi, I wanted to clean up the command line options a little (to make gimp even more perfect:) and so i made some changes to not just the formatting, but also the options themselves. I just wanted to see what other people think of this, and if the -v -> -V change will affect anyone adversely. Heres the new output: Usage: gimp [option ... ] [file ... ] Options: -b, --batch <commands> Run in batch mode. -c, --console-messages Display warnings to console instead of a dialog box. -d, --no-data Do not load brushes, gradients, palettes, patterns. -g, --gimprc <gimprc> Use an alternate gimprc file. -h, --help Output this help. -n, --no-interface Run without a user interface. -r, --restore-session Try to restore saved session. -s, --no-splash Do not show the startup window. -S, --no-splash-image Do not add an image to the startup window. -v, --verbose Show startup messages. -V, --version Output version information. --no-shm Do not use shared memory between GIMP and plugins. --no-xshm Do not use the X Shared Memory extension. --debug-handlers Enable non-fatal debugging signal handlers. --display <display> Use the designated X display. --system-gimprc <gimprc> Use an alternate system gimprc file. --enable-stack-trace <never | query | always> Debugging mode for fatal signals. I'd also like to know if there's any reason why a long option, like "--console-messages" _shouldn't_ have a short option (like "-c"). Thanks, - Piers
