Document work-{n}.txt work files #282

Closed Morilli closed 4 months ago

Morilli commented 4 months ago

It seems that currently either the -pool argument need to be supplied with a worktodo.txt file in the pool directory, or a work-{n}.txt in the current directory (or -dir's directory).

This is currently not documented and leads to failure on start when -pool is not specified and only a worktodo.txt file exists. Maybe there should be a fallback to that file when -pool wasn't specified that is currently missing?

Tested on latest master (4c839afa4a109a2e47452026adbfca5a8e111261).

Indeed. Attempted to fix in the most recent commit, please verify. I'll also update the docs with some worktodo instructions.

Updated the pre-built binaries for 0.7 to include the fix.
