command line flags missing #218

Closed leoheck closed 1 year ago

leoheck commented 1 year ago

There is no --help -h or anthing. Is it possible to add some flags for the command line so we can run it from the terminal without interaction?

For instance, it could have a flag to close the window after the operation.

It could also return the status (success or fail) to the command line. It could also have an argument to replace the existing AppImage or to keep it. It could also have an argument to run exclusively on the command line, without launching any GUI.

It could also have the option to upgrade all AppImages from the directory path given.

Ah, I figured out that command line flags are already implemented.

For some reason, they are not working. This is from the main branch.

Ah, wait, there are 2 tools? REally? Why? Why not only one tool?

TheAssassin commented 1 year ago

Mainly because one is a UI tool, while the other one does not depend on a desktop environment. The latter is also much more compact. The naming is inspired by appimagetool and other tools in the AppImage world.
