    CLI for running Batch Ripper headless?

    Is there any CLI interface or way to trigger starting a rip without manually using the GUI? I have a script working that uses nircmd to maximize the window, move mouse to the correct coordinates, and click on the Rip button, but it's brittle and doesn't work when the display switches off. Is there e.g. any flag I can pass to `Batch Ripper.exe` to start a rip when the application loads, or similar?

      Oh I didn't see that when searching, ok great thanks.

      I tried it out and it does start a rip on launch, however it seems to override the drive configuration. All 4 drives are configured for Nimbies and work, but when I run with --autorip it replaces the configuration to the default "Auto Eject - Manual Load" and so it doesn't work. This configuration replacement persists and I have to open up configuration to change it back to Nimbie.

      I tried on another machine which has one drive that I had left as unconfigured (the PC's internal drive), and --autorip automatically added that one as a configured drive too.

      Is there any way to --autorip with the specified or last-used config/settings? When I open up Batch Ripper it otherwise does show the last-used config/settings.

        Sorry it does not look like that option does as you want.
