Zint Barcode Studio Portable – command-line usage?

Hi!

Zint supports CL operation:
zint.exe -d "This Text"
etc.

Does it Zint Portable too? At the moment I am unable to do it. Even the simplest example
ZinPortable.exe -d "This Text"
(e.g. in a Windows shortcut:
"C:\ZintPortable\ZinPortable.exe" -d "This Text")
just opens the app and generates no code.

Somebody here who is familiar with Zint Portable?

SOLVED:

To use the app via command line the executable zint.exe (in \App\Zint) must be used directly. For CL usage no other file is required!

Not Portable

Note that doing so is not portable - you're essentially using Zint as if it installed.

[EDIT] To use the Zint CLI, add the following line to App\Launcher\ZintPortable.ini in the [Launch] section:
ProgramExecutableWhenParameters=Zint\zint.exe

The resulting file will be saved in the ZintPortable folder. To change this, use the -o option prior to -d
