Display -h and V has no effects on windows #126

Closed Aare07 closed 5 days ago

Aare07 commented 1 week ago

On a Windows 10 system, the arguments -h, --help and -V, --version on the commandline have no effect. Nothing is displayed on the command shell, just a brief blink.

Plus it would be useful to display the version in the GUI in the header or status bar.

Thanks for vour great work! Greetings Aare

On Windows an app ceither be a console app or a GUI app, so handling of std out is a bit tricky as GUI app: but we indeed should at least try to show the output correctly. An attempt to fixe this is here: https://github.com/emuell/restic-browser/pull/127

This PR will also show errors and -v outputs in a dialog on all platforms instead of using the stdout when NOT running the app from the terminal.
