Not really.
Coming from Windows I'm not used to UI apps having a "--help" CLI
option (let alone additional CLI options).
My bad, I guess.
(*) Wouldn't mind seeing some CLI Options reference on the website though.

In case I didn't explain clearly, my point is to duplicate my (SQLite)
production DB to a tmp dir and run the beta version against that dir.
By specifying the dir from CLI, I can skip all the DB switching back and forth.
I'll check if the configuration file is also required in order to
ensure full separation between production and test envs.

Thank you.
