Good Book

Commandline arguments

Help

Run this to print available flags and options to the console:

good-form --help

Opening a file or folder

Just pass a single positional argument to open Good Form with a specific file or directory:

good-form path/to/my/file.wav

Listing audio hosts and devices

Run this to list available hosts (ALSA, CoreAudio, WASAPI, etc.):

good-form --list-hosts

Run this to list available devices (Sound cards, Screens, etc.):

good-form --list-devices

Configuring audio hosts and devices

With the output --list-hosts and/or --list-devices gives you, you can instruct Good Form to start with a specific playback configuration, utilizing the indices displayed in the listing output. Let's say for instance --list-devices gave us this listing:

[0] default
[1] pulse
[2] sysdefault:CARD=Pro71992192
[3] sysdefault:CARD=PCH
[4] front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0

Then we can use the following argument to use the pulse device:

good-form --device 1

Similarly if we query the hosts with --list-hosts and get this listing:

[0] ALSA
[1] EXAMPLE

Then we can the following argument to use the ALSA device:

good-form --host 0

Factory reset

Use this flag to purge all previously persisted user settings and start with factory defaults:

good-form --factory-reset
