Please note that some parameters are useless when [not] used with other parameters. When no commandline parameters are specified, Calaym uses the content of the file "Calaym.cmd" for commandline parameters.

Directories and files
<Playlist/Directory> | Playlist used for loading on startup; This will not make it the default playlist. You may specify a directory instead.
/BASE=<directory> | Set base filename/directory for configs

This option instructs Calaym to use another filename/directory for settings, playlist and presets. This should be a full filename without an extension, e.g. /base="C:\My Documents\Program Settings\Calaym" will use the following files: C:\My Documents\Program Settings\Calaym.ini
C:\My Documents\Program Settings\Calaym.m3u8
...
By default, Calaym use the following directory/filename (ordered by priority)

| /BASE=... directory
| if a .ini file matching the executable already exists, files are named to match the executable
| if the executable is located somewhere within the program files directory, or the programs directory cannot be detected, it uses windows application data directory
| Otherwise files are named to match the executable

When using relative directories, the resulting directory depends on the current directory when/where Calaym is started.
The specified directory must exist, or read/write operations will fail (Calaym will not switch to another directory)

/KEEPLOGS | Use date-based logs files and preserve them
