Fantastic, I missed the part in the Global Flags section. I'll give it a spin today. https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/v1.3.17/reference/cli.html#global-flags
Beets has a few “global” flags that affect all commands. These must appear between the executable name (beet) and the command—for example, beet -v import .... - -l LIBPATH: specify the library database file to use. - -d DIRECTORY: specify the library root directory. - -v: verbose mode; prints out a deluge of debugging information. Please use this flag when reporting bugs. You can use it twice, as in -vv, to make beets even more verbose. - -c FILE: read a specified YAML *configuration file* <https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/v1.3.17/reference/config.html>. Beets also uses the BEETSDIR environment variable to look for configuration and data. On Sat, 10 Nov 2018 at 13:12, Adrian Sampson <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes!
