6.18. Parameter --dialog

[-x]

The --dialog parameter displays a percentage bar on the screen during the mixing process (non-modal dialog mask). The mixing process can be stopped using the Cancel (Abbrechen) button.

In exceptional cases, the system will not start the progress bar in the foreground. With the "top" switch, the progress bar is explicitly placed in the foreground at startup.

Syntax
--dialog

Beispiel
