15 QElectroTech is an electric diagrams editor. Diagrams (*.qet) and elec‐
16 tric elements (*.elmt) are stored using the XML format. The elements
17 that can be used in diagrams may come from the common collection or
18 from the user's custom collection. Typically, the common collection is
19 readable by all users but it can't be edited by them. Each user owns
20 its custom collection he can modify as he wants.
21
23 --common-elements-dir=DIR
24 Uses DIR as the common collection root directory. Note : this
25 option is enabled only if the QET_ALLOW_OVERRIDE_CED_OPTION
26 directive has been specified at compilation time.
27
28 --config-dir=DIR
29 Uses DIR as the current user's configuration directory. This
30 directory hosts a file named qelectrotech.conf, which contains
31 the application configuration, and a subdirectory named ele‐
32 ments, which contains the user's elements collection. Note :
33 this option is enabled only if the QET_ALLOW_OVERRIDE_CD_OPTION
34 directive has been specified at compilation time.
35
36 --lang-dir=DIR
37 Looks for the application translation files in the directory
38 DIR.
39
40 --help Displays a short description of the available options.
41
42 -v, --version
43 Displays the application version (e.g.: 0.1).
44
45 --license
46 Displays the application license (GNU/GPL). Note that if one of
47 the three last options is specified in the command line, the
48 programs stops after having displayed the adequate information.
49 If an instance of the application launched by the user is still
50 running, this instance will consider the command line, and
51 notably the files to open. However, options that redefine
52 directories (common collection, configuration and translation
53 files) will not be considered. If a filename ends with .elmt,
54 QElectroTech will try to open it into an element editor. Other‐
55 wise, it will consider it as diagrams.
