[Feature Request] Is there any CLI capability? #76

Closed MostHated closed 2 months ago

MostHated commented 3 months ago

Version/Branch:

0.5.0

Operating system:

Ubuntu 23.10

Debug probe:

ST-Link

Details:

Hey there, I was wondering if there currently is, or any plans for any CLI capability? I tried to see if ./STMViewer --help would show anything, but all it did was start the application with the GUI all messed up (seen below).

The reason I ask, is that it would be quite helpful for quicker iteration if I could do something like:

./STMViewer --cfg /path/to/my/config.cfg --start

Then have that open an instance of the app and already apply the specified config file, and start the capture straight away.

I use just to be able to run multiple steps in my build process quicky, and it would be quite helpful to have something like the above command in there at the end, as it would be one less manual step.

Ideally, to help with iteration, it would be also quite nice if I already have an instance of STMViewer opened and the same command gets ran again, it would then reuse the same window instance and just start the capture again, so I don't have to try and remember to go back to the window and run it again when trying things out quickly.

Hello, currently there is no such option. If you'd like to implement it please feel free to do so. I could recommend CLI11 for this purpose so that it is easily extendable in the future. I don't think I'll have time to do this myself anytime soon. I'm puting that task on the project TODO list.
