Note (as a reminder):
The committed patch #8752 makes command line-specified logging verbosity
override the configuration file-specified one.

It doesn't provide a way to override verbosity *to zero* yet; due to
complications written on comment 1 combined with the way Gnash
currently use libboost-program-options. It may require a substantial change
to accommodate the inclusion of `-q`/`--quiet` switch.

Also, the logging verbosity slider in Edit > Preferences dialog won't show
the overridden verbosity yet. (It still show the value in configuration file)

I like the -q idea to force verbosity to 0.
A Player category can only be added by Rob (are you reading this, Rob ?)

Still reproducible under current git Gnash version; when non-zero verbosity
is set via Edit > Preferences, `-v` specified on command line are ignored
no matter it have a higher verbosity or not.

I have thought of two ways to resolve this; either...

  • A quick and dirty way: just allow command line `-v`/`--verbose` option to raise verbosity from the one set in `.gnashrc`. This one can actually be fixed using a one-line patch. Or...
  • An ideal way: make command line option always override verbosity set from `.gnashrc`. This one is slightly complicated, as...
    • Currently, Gnash reads verbosity from the command line before checking .gnashrc.
    • There should be a way to override verbosity to zero; a `-q`,`--quiet` option, maybe?

If "set verbosity N" is found in .gnashrc and N != 0 then you cannot raise verbosity with -v switch.

Pretty frustrating not to see debugs when runnign with -vv.
Commandline should always override directives.

PS we need a "player" category
