Add silent/unattended mode via CLI switches #25

Open nefarius opened 1 year ago

nefarius commented 1 year ago

Suggested by user elix on Discord; add CLI options for silent/unattended runs of the tool.

I don't have a bug to report but I wanted to leave a comment without making a whole new thread - if you want to minimize the amount of people panicking over whether or not this thing is a virus of malware, it probably would be better if it didn't launch a lone png from My Little Pony. lol.

There is no need for me to minimize anything to be frank, so far the entire operation is quite the success!

nefarius commented 1 year ago

Also stop Pony Hate!

MvPts commented 1 year ago

no pony hate but i legit thought it was a virus thats why im here

nefarius commented 1 year ago

Don't you think viruses in 2023 would try a wee bit harder to hide from the user and not draw attention to them with a colorful splash screen? 😅

MvPts commented 1 year ago

Yes, probably.

My reasoning was that i don't remember installing this tool. Does this tool ship with DS4Windows?

Not complaining, just trying to understand.

nefarius commented 1 year ago

This tool as in Legacinator doesn't ship with anything AFAIK. If you mean ViGEmBus there's quite a bit of tools out there that silently install it for you, and yes, DS4Windows is amongst them.

tikkamasalla commented 1 year ago

Same, I thought this was very sus, but knew it was related to ds4windows most likely.

nefarius commented 1 year ago

Now it's getting uncovered how many tools just ship my stuff without crediting me or informing the user that they install it 😇

This is one reason why I dislike bundling software and silently installing dependencies. Yes, it is more convenient but it also hides what is actually happening from the user.
