Windows: Difference between --intf=rc and --intf=rc-quiet

Postby bll » 27 Sep 2013 02:30

Has anyone had issues with --rc=quiet before? I'd like to use the socket without the console window popping up, but when --intf=rc-quiet is specified, it does not even start listening on the socket. This occurs on Windows XP and Vista with both 2.0.8 and 2.1.0.

rc-quiet is an option, not an interface possibility. try --intf=oldrc --rc-quiet

Thanks so much for your time and explanation.
--intf=oldrc works on Linux, Windows XP and Windows Vista.
--rc-quiet does not work on Linux, but that's not an issue.
