zettelstore run-simple
This sub-command is implicitly called when a user starts Zettelstore by double-clicking its GUI icon. It is a simplified variant of the run sub-command.
First, this sub-command checks if it can read a Zettelstore startup configuration file by trying the default values. If this is the case, run-simple just continues as the run sub-command, but ignores any command line options (including -d DIR). This allows a curious user to become an intermediate user.
If no startup configuration is found, the sub-command only allows specifying a zettel directory. The directory will be created automatically if it does not exist. This differs from the run sub-command, where the directory must already exist. Unlike the run sub-command, no other command-line parameters are allowed.
zettelstore run-simple [-d DIR]
-d DIR
Specifies DIR as the directory that contains all zettel.
Default is ./zettel (.\zettel on Windows), where . denotes the current directory.
