How to get command line for each preset?

Post by jbuck79 »

Pre-1.x, there used to be a way to see the command line execution options for each of the built-in presets. Like, when you use a certain preset, this is the command-line options that it uses. There was a page on the wiki somewhere and I think --preset-list might have printed it.

Is there a way to get this information for the new presets? I looked around the source on github, but all I could find is the .json representation. I'd rather not install the GUI just to get it.

It's not listed anywhere in that form. You'd need to run the --preset-list command

In the previous versions, that worked. But now it just shows the description of each preset. I'm looking for the actual command line of each preset.

CLI can now use the GUI preset format, which doesn't always have direct command-line options equivalents, so you cannot get those anymore.
