DIM command line startup options?
G'day folks,
Are there any (documented/undocumented) startup (CLI/DOS-prompt) options to the DIM? (e.g. to specify a startup profile, etc.)
Occasonally I'd like to start the DIM using offline mode and an alternate DIM zip-file repo populated w an arbitrary collection of zip+dsx files.
Is this possible?
I know you can (re)set these options from within DIM, or edit the appdata DIM config file, or ... rename the active repo directory just before starting the DIM..., but if there's a simple CLI option to specify the repo directory... that'd be optimal and I could manually do that or throw it in a bat-file, etc.
thanks in advance,
--ms

FWIW, I ended up creating for myself a 'new' local DIM account (w bogus login info), that I can then setup using the alternate paths that I want (pkg repos, install paths, etc.) to muck with, and do what I need to do fairly easily. I can always use DIM with this account in 'offline' mode, and it won't need to interact with the mothership site. I may even create a couple of these bogus accounts.
One example use would be having an account dedicated to storing and managing my old 3Delight-specific content/installers in a dedicated library/runtime.
In doing this, I can also leave my primary/real DAZ online account alone and not worry about breaking it.
Some CLI options would be handy, but this works pretty well for me.
cheers,
