Description

@Lvl4Sword
  • Daemon command line argument
  • Portable Mode command line argument
  • BITMESSAGE_HOME environment variable

Daemon and Portable Mode should be command line arguments. This allows other programs to use the CLI much easier.

    Hi Lvl4Sword,

    The "portable mode" option in the QT client is misleadingly represented as a checkbox in the UI but it doesn't map to a true/false setting anywhere in the program. What that checkbox does, behind the scenes, is an ACTION, not a setting: it relocates the configuration, keys and data files from the program directory (portable mode) to the user's home directory (non-portable mode), or the other way round.

    How would a "portable mode" command-line argument work, and how would it be different from setting BITMESSAGE_HOME to the program directory?

    true, one can set BITMESSAGE_HOME , does not even have to be an extra line in a bash script. Same effect.
