💖 glassgui(1) — the Linux Audio Manual glow-up 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about glassgui from the Linux Audio Manual and it's genuinely so good. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

glassgui — a single-stream GUI front-end for the glasscoder(1) audio encoder. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glassgui [OPTIONS]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so glassgui(1) is a GUI front end for one single instance of the glasscoder(1) audio encoder. one. single. instance. she's monogamous like that. 💅

what she gives you is a convenient and discoverable means for creating and saving glasscoder(1) invocations — no more crying over manpages at 3am (no shade, love that for you) — plus an instance management system for saving multiple sets of configurations on the local system. so you can have many looks and keep them all. iconique. 👑

🫶 real talk though: if you need a GUI front-end that can handle dozens of glasscoder(1) instances simultaneously? that's not her, that's glasscommander(1). go say hi.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --autostart — start encoding immediately upon startup. no chill, no pause, just go. 🔥
  • --delete-instance=name — delete the name instance from storage and then exit. bye boo, we hardly knew ye. 💀
  • --instance-directory=dir — use dir as the location for storing instance data. the default value is $HOME/.glassgui. that's home sweet home. 🏠
  • --instance-name=name — load and save settings from/to the name instance. pick your girl, commit to her. 💖
  • --list-instances — print the list of saved instances to standard output and then exit. show me the roster bestie, I wanna see everyone. 📋✨
