Bug ID: 461007
Summary: Command line interface not aligned with general KDE
practices and kf5
Classification: Applications
Product: ghostwriter
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When KDE programs are invoked from the shell, parsing their command line
parameter and arguments they tend to conform to a uniform interface (see for
instance `kf5options`). This includes support for some common options like
`--help` or `--version`, etc.
As of today, `ghostwriter` is completely misaligned with respect to this
expectation:
1. options starting with `-` or `--` are interpreted as arguments. Hence,
typing `ghostwriter --help` results in ghostwriter trying to open a file called
`--help`;
2. when an argument that corresponds to a non existing file is passed, rather
than starting up with an empty file (as `kate` does, for instance), ghostwriter
errors out because it cannot find the file.
