For --showgui too : Making --config least priotirity among arguments and other arguments overwrite it

[alex-ie]

Edit: it works already without --showgui, it will be even better if it will work for --showgui too, to have flexibility which options from the template to adjust on command line and which in GUI.

I load template with --config. Then I want to change e,g, one parameter. Now I have to --showgui and do visual edit. It will be more convenient if other arguments overwrote info stored in the template, e.g. --config a.kcppt --port 5199 loaded with everything from template with the port changed. TIA

It already works like that for most parameters, including --port. I usually create new kcpps files from existing ones, with something like: koboldcpp --config original.kcpps --exportconfig new.kcpps --model /another/model.gguf --port 5002.

I have just (before posting) tried to do koboldcpp-linux-x64-1.120 --config ny.kcpps --port 5011 --showgui where config had 5001 and saw 5001 in the launcher UI.

Well, technically kcpps is not template, I just do not know the difference except name suffix.

I beg your pandon, it works without --showgui, I will edit the post.

And thanks a lot, integration with --showgui is of less additional value.

Looks like there is a bug that affects --port specifically. Attempted fix: #2445
