#121 Command Line Options
Hi
I am using WinMerge-2.16.4 on Windows 7. I would like to use winmerge from command line. My questions are
-
Where can I find the latest command line options. (The options in the help file and online are not upto date). I could find few options -noninteractive -noprefs that are not mentioned in the help document
-
Can I export the setting (as ini ) files from UI and use the file that in the command line . I do understand that there are options like -cfg Settings/DirViewExpandSubdirs=1 to specify the setting configurtion. However in this case, I need to specify each option on the command prompt. I would like to use the exported settings.ini file that would have all the required options.

Currently, the latest documentation on command line options is in the help file.
The /noninteractive and /noprefs command line options existed before version 2.14 but were not documented.
/noninteractive: it prevents the display of any message boxes and exits WinMerge as soon as the comparison is complete.
/noprefs: do not load settings from the registry when the option specified.
You can export settings by clicking the Export button in the Options dialog.
