the --version flag should work alone

[michaelkarlcoleman]

The --version flag should work even if no other flags are given.

$ spotify_dl --version
usage: spotify_dl [-h] -l URL -o OUTPUT [-d] [-f FORMAT_STR] [-k] [-m] [-s SCRAPE] [-V] [-v]
spotify_dl: error: the following arguments are required: -l/--url, -o/--output

yeah, that's a catch with ArgParser. With the most recent update, spotify-dl prints teh version on startup so I will be removing this flag

[michaelkarlcoleman]

Ah, I see where you're going. It's likely too picayune to say, but arguably --output could just default to the current working directory and --url could be the (sole) positional argument.

In any case, it's working well for me, and this is my nomination for "Project of the Year"!

This is fixed as of v8.4.0 https://github.com/SathyaBhat/spotify-dl/discussions/307
