shp2pgsql-gui.exe should divulge its command line options

[bmmpxf]

You can do things like

shp2pgsql-gui.exe -Upostgres

and that info gets populated in the appropriate field. However, running either

shp2pgsql-gui.exe —help

or

shp2pgsql-gui.exe /?

doesn't yield anything. What else can one populate in these fields and how?

BTW, this GUI is awesome and was sorely needed. Thanks!

I have not been able to find any way of doing this. Basically, in order to get an app that runs without creating a stub console, we have to compile in -mwindows mode, but when we do that, we also lose the ability to print things out on the console… for reference, the command line options are:

-d database
-h host
-U username
-W password
-p port

Okay, thanks. But how about putting that info in the text in the "About" button? There must be a way to put it somewhere aside from buried deep in the documentation. I can make a different ticket for this if you'd like.

Sure, re-ticket a feature to put this in the about box…
