Command Line Options

Configuration Directory Override

Both the Animator and Browser applications support overriding the default configuration directory path using the --config-dir (or -c) option:

# Animator
Animator --config-dir "/path/to/config"
Animator -c "/path/to/config"

# Browser
Browser --config-dir "/path/to/config"
Browser -c "/path/to/config"

This is useful for:

  • Running multiple instances with separate configurations
  • Testing with isolated settings
  • Deploying to non-standard locations

  • Browser: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Creative Machines\Animation Browser
