bcompare cmd line args -title1/title2 not working.

[dethrophes]

So I've been using -title1 and -title2 on the command line since years with bcompare however with the latest versions it doesn't seem to be working anymore.

Now the title seems to be ignored and only the filename is displayed.

However according to the help text the arguments are still supported.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the report. I've reproduced the behavior you are seeing with 4.1.5 and will open a tracker entry to investigate.

I was hoping you'd tell me it was a new option or something.

On a side note, it would be nice if bcompare would give a warning for command line arguments it doesn't support. It currently seems to silently ignore them.

e.g.
bcompare -title1=jjj -title2=kkkk -title8=fdfff dddd ggg
no error.

Also to be more compatible with linux command line you guys should also support the following syntax.
bcompare -title1=jjj -title2=kkkk -- -title8=fdfff dddd ggg

The -- means no more args and all elements after that should be treated as filenames. There is after all no reason I couldn't have a filename starting with a - on linux.

We appreciate the feedback. We'll look into this as we investigate the bug.

The -title1 and related switches bug on Linux is fixed in Beyond Compare 4.1.6.
