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