Stellarium 24.1 low-graphics mode not working?

[Davide Cattani]

Hi everybody,

if I launch Stellarium with --low-graphics or -L command line parameter, apparently nothing happens: simply Stellarium starts as without any parameter.

The same happens with all command line parameters, even --help; stellarium just starts, nothing else.

I'd like to use the low-graphics mode to run St. on a mini-pc, but with no success.

Can you please try and confirm that command line parameters are ignored? Or can someone correct my way of loading St. in low-graphics mode, if mine is wrong?

Many thanks!

Just for reference, that fails on MacOS with:
503 stellarium --low-graphics

Does Stellarium provide any diagnostic on invalid parameter such as
504 stellarium --wombat cs
... seems to launch Stellarium routinely.
