The argument may appear multiple times. 75 76-qwindowgeometry _geometry_ 77: Specify the window geometry for the main window using the X11-syntax. For example: -qwindowgeometry 100x100+50+50 78 79-qwindowicon _icon_ 80: Set the default window icon. 81 82-qwindowtitle _title_ 83: Set the title of the first window. 84 85-session _session_ 86: Restore the application from an earlier session. 87 88-display _hostname:screen_number_ 89: Switch displays on X11.

The set of provided file names becomes a temporary playlist. 105 106# FILES 107 108*\*.lst* 109 110: Playlist files. The last opened or saved playlist file shall be remembered the next time the program is started, but playlists are not saved automatically. 111 112 Playlists are simple text files, with a file name on each text line. The file names can be relative to the location of the playlist file itself (so they do not have an absolute path prepended) or each file can have an absolute path on its own. 113 114 Users may have several playlists that can be created easily outside of the program, for instance in the Linux command line this command creates a playlist file named "my_playlist.lst" with all the MIDI files located at the working directory: 115 116~~~ 117$ ls -1 *.mid > my_playlist.lst 118~~~ 119 120# ENVIRONMENT 121 122**DRUMSTICKRT** 123 124: Location of Drumstick::RT plugins. Useful if the plugins are not installed at a standard place. 125 126# BUGS 127 128See Tickets at Sourceforge <https://sourceforge.net/p/dmidiplayer/tickets/> and GitHub <https://github.com/pedrolcl/dmidiplayer/issues/> 129 130# SEE ALSO 131 132**qt5options (7)** 133
