Hello.
When running mrViewer from the command line in Windows, if I use --version or --help it opens a window to show the output.
Would be possible to just print the output to the stout?
Thanks

Not as far as I know. It is a limitation of Windows GUI applications.

Mmm on top of my head ... DJV, blender, nuke and houdini can do it .
Just try
djv -version
blender --version

You are right. I just needed to dig more deeply into the Windows API documentation. The next version should have this fixed.

No, I didn't. I forgot to merge the change in and the version is still like it was. Sorry. v5.7.4 should have the change.
