Confusing help for option usage
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I find the documentation of the various options a little bit confusing:
The README here on Github shows all examples with two hyphens (--url, --title etc.), whereas the help output of kindle-send only uses one (-url, -title etc.).
Funny enough, kindle-send accepts both versions…
I would've expected double hyphens with the "long form" of options (e.g. --url or --title) and single hyphens with their "short form" (something like -U for the URL or -T for the title). At least that's the usual approach chosen by so many other command line programs.
Additionally it would be nice (but that's a matter of taste and probably worth a separate request?) to have the most common option (I guess providing an URL?) to work without specifying it explicitly, resulting in a "default option":
kindle-send <URL> (= one parameter given, but no option)
instead of
kindle-send --url <URL>
Hi, now there is no need for shorthand with latest release. All other flags can be used as shorthand. Refer kindle-send help for usage. Closing this issue.
