#12 jack 3.0.0 ignores options

[Anonymous]

jack 3.0.0 simply ignores options on the command line
when used with -f, for example the -w and the -D
option. The -w option is also ignored when specified in
the .jack3rc, the -D option not. Maybe other options
are ignored too.

Exact command:
jack -D --force -w "${jacktmpdir}" -f
${jacktmpdir}/${tocbasename}"

That -D doesn't work is expected - it works as expected, but
probably not as *you* expected. I had to look at the code
to see what it really means. Basically, -D is turned on by
default (like the man page says) and -D is defined as a
toggle: this means that specifying -D will change the value
from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, depending on what it is at the
moment. Given that -D is on by default, specifying -D
actually means that *no* directory should be created.
That's may be a surprising, but that's how it is.

With the Debian package, running jack -w foo -f bar works
fine. Just don't specify -D.
