Silent/quiet mode

[oczkers]

Another feature request :-)

silent - just download subtitles and do not open any windows (perfect if you get subtitles just before launching movie)

quiet - much harder to implement cross platform - some kind of timed self closing pop-up (it should stay if failed)

Something similar is already implemented, although not properly documented.

If you run the program with path to a movie file as an argument, subtitle downloading will start immediately with progress window), but without installing any icon to systray. Similarly, if you pass a path to a directory, folder scanning window will appear.

If you run the application with -q switch and pass path to a movie file, application will do the job without showing any windows and communicate result via exit code. This mode is unfortunately not supported on Windows. But probably it could be!

It works on Windows if you add "--quiet" to regedit keys, e.g.

"C:\Program Files\QNapi\qnapi.exe" "%1" "--quiet"

But could you please add it to program preferences because not everyone is versed in registry tweaking...
Thanks for the excellent work!

It could make sense to introduce option like quiet batch mode added to preferences, which should force quiet mode every time you pass a file as an argument.

Unfortunately, it will not be available to OSX users, since Finder integration is not argv-based there.
