Currently there is no output to the console when running Studio from a command line on Windows. For example
--helpoutput or CLI parameter parsing errors. The program just appears to not do anything at all in these cases. This is typical for Windows GUI programs since they don't usually need console interaction.This fix will attach to the current console, if there is one, meaning only if it was started from a console in the first place. It will not open a new console window or start a new process.
[I use this technique on "all" my Win GUI programs for a couple decades now.]
Of course
--helpis the only way to get a real listing of currently supported switches, since the Wiki article is rather dated/missing a lot of them.Thanks,
