the order of arguments is confusing / cli-switches would be good

Opened this issue · 5 comments

The order of arguments is confusing and description, printed with --help also not so clear.

It wouldbe much better to have names switches, e.g.
-m mode
-i infilename
-o outfilename
-r range
-f from_pagenum
-t to_pagenum

or similarly.

Cool idea. Want to implement it?

Well, why not...
...not sure how much time I can invest, but maybe there is a possibility.
What would be the way to bring in the changes?
fork -> pull -> change -> push -> pull-request ?

Yeah, that's about it.
Thanks for the effort :)

I'm thinking of moving stapler to click, so maybe you'll get your wish for free ;) If you plan to work on your idea, get in touch with me first, so we don't duplicate efforts. Ok?

Well, I started to change stapler locally, but did not pushed the stuff.
The reason is: while working on it, I found some problems with my idea.
So I wanted to think about the order of the switches again... but then I had no time left over to work on it.
I still think, cli-switches would be nice.
But how to arrange the switches/arguments is not completely worked out.
