command line argument for set the output directory

[sraney]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do ?

I would like to be able to have a command line argument for set the output directory. maybe something like:

--output-dir <location>

Proposed workflow

1. use a new command line argument to set the default output directory --output-dir <location>
2. if location exists, continue, else fail and quick

Additional information

There is already the command line argument: --ui-config-file You can dynamically create a new config.json file using the existing one and just modify the output fields before call the webui.py

$ cp config.json /tmp/new_config.json $ # modify new_config.json using sed command or python script $ webui.py --ui-config-file /tmp/new_config.json

this assumes you want to have a static UI config file and not one that changes with the user changing settings while working with the system. I guess we could just alter the default file on the fly with scripts before launching, but that seems a little off.

I would seriously suggest adding an command line option to allow redirecting of the default output home folder.
