A clear and concise description of the feature you'd like to see
Just an easily accessible way for users to get a look at the argument, since it can fix things that reinstalling doesn't.
Implementation Notes
It could be shown in/when:
- The Vesktop popup stays stuck too long, right below the text showing the current status.
- In the console output when trying to run Vesktop or when an error occurs (like it already happens with the
--trace-warningsargument - In the discord server.
Additional context
Another user recently mentioned this argument, which i couldn't find mentioned in the Wiki or any easily accessible part of the discord server itself. And it fixed an issue with a corrupt file in the %AppData% directory that uninstalling and installing didn't.
Request Agreement
- I've searched existing issues and this hasn't been suggested before
- This is a core modification feature, not a plugin request (those go in Discord)
- This feature would benefit most users, not just a specific use case
- I am willing to work on this myself
