<h1 id="help-support"><span class="header-section-number">6</span> Help &amp; Support</h1> <h1 id="command-line-usage"><span class="header-section-number">6</span> Command-line Usage</h1>
<p>Additional <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface">command-line</a> options</strong> may be passed to LameXP when launching the application. You may do so, for example, by typing the complete command-line into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd.exe"><em>command prompt</em></a> or by creating a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_shortcut"><em>shortcut</em></a> with the desired command-line options. The basic command-line syntax of LameXP is as follows: Each command-line option has to start with a <code>--</code> prefix. So if you intend to pass the option called &quot;foo&quot;, then you actually need to type <code>--foo</code>. Furthermore, while some command-line options are just <em>flags</em>, i.e. they can either be present or not (but that's it!), there also are command-line options that take an <em>argument</em>. The argument is <em>appended</em> directly to the option name to which it belongs to, but a <code>=</code> sign <strong>must</strong> to be inserted as a separator. If, for example, you wish to set the command-line option &quot;foo&quot; to an argument value of &quot;bar&quot;, then the proper syntax is <code>--foo=bar</code>. Sometimes your argument value may contain <em>whitespaces</em> though, in which case the <em>whole</em> command-line option (name + argument) <strong>must</strong> be enclosed with double quotes. For example, in order to set the option &quot;foo&quot; to a value of &quot;C:\Some File.bar&quot; (note the space character between &quot;Some&quot; and &quot;File&quot;), the proper syntax is <code>&quot;--foo=C:\Some File.bar&quot;</code>. Last but not least, please note that the <em>same</em> command-line option may appear <em>multiple</em> times on the command-line – whether that actually makes any sense depends on the individual option though.</p>
<h2 id="add-files-andor-folders"><span class="header-section-number">6.1</span> Add Files and/or Folders</h2>
<p>Command-line options for adding files and/or folders:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>--add=filename</code><br /> Adds the file specified by <em>filename</em> to the source files list. The <em>filename</em> should be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_name#Filenames_and_paths">fully-qualified</a> path. If you wish to add multiple files at once, you can simply include this option multiple times.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--add-folder=directory</code><br /> Adds <em>all</em> supported files from the directory specified by <em>directory</em> to the source files list. The <em>directory</em> should be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_name#Filenames_and_paths">fully-qualified</a> path. Sub-directories are <strong>not</strong> considered.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--add-recursiver=directory</code><br /> This option works just like the &quot;add-folder&quot; option, except that it works recursively, i.e. it <em>does</em> take into account sub-directories. Use this option with care, since a whole lot of files may be added.</p></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="examples"><span class="header-section-number">6.1.1</span> Examples</h3>
<p>Here are some <em>examples</em> on how to use the above command-line options correctly:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Add one file:<br /> <code>LameXP.exe &quot;--add=C:\Some Folder\Some File.mp3&quot;</code></p></li>
<li><p>Add multiple files at once:<br /> <code>LameXP.exe &quot;--add=C:\Some Folder\File #1.mp3&quot; &quot;--add=C:\Some Folder\File #2.mp3&quot; &quot;--add=C:\Some Folder\File #3.mp3&quot;</code></p></li>
<li><p>Add a whole directory:<br /> <code>LameXP.exe &quot;--add-folder=C:\Some Folder&quot;</code></p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="gui-adjustment-options"><span class="header-section-number">6.2</span> GUI Adjustment Options</h2>
<p>Command-line options for adjusting the graphical user-interface:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>--huge-font</code><br /> Set the font scaling factor to 150%. Use this if you want <em>much</em> larger fonts.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--big-font</code><br /> Set the font scaling factor to 125%. Use this if you want <em>somewhat</em> larger fonts.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--small-font</code><br /> Set the font scaling factor to 87.5%. Use this if you want <em>somewhat</em> smaller fonts.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--tiny-font</code><br /> Set the font scaling factor to 75%. Use this if you want <em>much</em> smaller fonts.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="options-for-debugging"><span class="header-section-number">6.3</span> Options for Debugging</h2>
<p>Command-line options that are intended for testing and debugging:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>--console</code><br /> Enable the LameXP debug console. Use this option with &quot;release&quot; builds of LameXP, where the console is hidden by default.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--no-console</code><br /> The opposite of the &quot;console&quot; option: Disable the LameXP debug console. Use this option with &quot;pre-release&quot; (beta) builds of LameXP, where the console is visible by default.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--force-cpu-no-64bit</code><br /> Treat the CPU as if it did <strong>not</strong> support <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64">64-Bit (x64)</a> applications, even when it actually does so.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--force-cpu-no-sse</code><br /> Treat the CPU as if it did <strong>not</strong> support any <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions">SSE</a> extensions (SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSSE4, etc), even when it actually does so.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--force-cpu-no-intel</code><br /> Treat the CPU as if it was a <em>non</em>-Intel processor, even when the vendor tag indicates an Intel processor.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--ignore-compat-mode</code><br /> Do <strong>not</strong> check whether the application is running with &quot;compatibility mode&quot; enabled. It's still <em>not</em> recommended to run with compatibility mode enabled!</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="miscellaneous-options"><span class="header-section-number">6.4</span> Miscellaneous Options</h2>
<p>Miscellaneous command-line options that may come in handy in certain situations:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code>--kill</code><br /> Exit all running instances of LameXP.</p></li>
<li><p><code>--force-kill</code><br /> Exit all running instances of LameXP as quickly as possible, even if that incurs data loss. Use with extreme care!</p></li>

<p><strong>A:</strong> Originally, the LameXP software was created as a very simple <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface">GUI front-end</a> to the <a href="http://lame.sourceforge.net/"><em>LAME</em></a> MP3 command-line encoder. The original version of this software, released some time in 2004, did <strong>not</strong> support any encoders except for LAME, it did <strong>not</strong> support any input formats except for Wave Audio, it did <strong>not</strong> support any audio filters, it did <strong>not</strong> support multi-threading, it did <strong>not</strong> support Unicode file names and it did <strong>not</strong> handle meta information. Because the software was a front-end to LAME, because it was running on the Microsoft Windows operating system and because, back at that time, <em>Windows XP</em> was the most popular Windows version (by far), I decided to call the software &quot;LAME front-end for Windows XP&quot; – or, in short, <em>LameXP</em>. Note the most creative name, I have to admit. Anyway, more and more features have been added to the LameXP software over the years. Also, the software has been re-written from the scratch at least two times. Nonetheless, the original name of the software has been retained. This is partly because people have become used to that name, and partly because I simply haven't been able to come up with a better name…</p> <p><strong>A:</strong> Originally, the LameXP software was created as a very simple <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface">GUI front-end</a> to the <a href="http://lame.sourceforge.net/"><em>LAME</em></a> MP3 command-line encoder.

<p><strong>A:</strong> They <em>are</em>! The official LameXP binaries are digitally signed by <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy"><em>PGP</em></a> signatures, created using the <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard">GnuPG</a> software. However, the LameXP binaries are <em>not</em> signed in a way that the Microsoft Windows operating system recognizes. Please note that Microsoft Windows does <strong>not</strong> currently recognize PGP (GnuPG) signatures. For this reason, Microsoft Windows may show a warning when trying to launch or install the LameXP software. Microsoft Windows will also complain that the LameXP program files originate from an &quot;unknown publisher&quot;, despite they <em>are</em> signed.</p> <p><strong>A:</strong> They <em>are</em>!

Microsoft Windows will also complain that the LameXP program files originate from an &quot;unknown publisher&quot;, despite they <em>are</em> signed.</p>
<p>So why are the LameXP binaries not signed in the way Microsoft Windows recognizes? This is because Microsoft Windows uses a <em>hierarchical</em> trust model: Windows trusts into a number of <em>Certificate Authorities</em> (CA), which are built into the operating system. These CA's can issue signing certificates, e.g., to software companies. The software company can then use its signing certificate to sign their binaries. Finally, Windows will verify the signature by using the corresponding signing certificate. And the signing certificate is verified using the <em>built-in</em> CA certificate. However, this system is <em>flawed</em>: First of all, CA's do <em>not</em> create signing certificates for free. Also these certificates are only valid for a limited period of time. LameXP is a <em>non-profit</em> project and therefore we can <em>not</em> afford buying new certificates in regular intervals. Secondly, and even more important, the whole system depends on the <em>trustworthiness of the CA's</em>. But, as we all (should) know by now, these CA's can be forced to create &quot;bogus&quot; certificates, e.g. by intelligence services or other governmental organizations. Please also see <a href="http://blog.fefe.de/?ts=b25933c5"><strong>this</strong></a> blog post by &quot;fefe&quot; for an in-depth explanation.</p> <p>So why are the LameXP binaries not signed in the way Microsoft Windows recognizes?

<p><strong>A:</strong> LameXP does <strong>not</strong> connect to any web-server, except for the &quot;automatic updates&quot; feature. Of course, in order to check for new updates, LameXP <em>unavoidably</em> has to communicate with our update servers. However, in <strong>no</strong> event LameXP will search for updates <em>without</em> your consent. Also, LameXP will <strong>not</strong> send any personal information to the update server. Instead of <em>uploading</em> your information, e.g. your current program version, to the web-server, LameXP will <em>download</em> the update information from the update server and compare it to your installed version locally. Furthermore, all information and program files downloaded from the update servers are protected by PGP (GnuPG) signatures, in order to assure the authenticity and integrity of these files. Files with missing/invalid signature are going to be <em>rejected</em>, so (spoofing) attacks are prevented.</p> <p><strong>A:</strong> LameXP does <strong>not</strong> connect to any web-server, except for the &quot;automatic updates&quot; feature.

<p><em>Note:</em> Before LameXP actually tries to download information from our update servers, it will check your internet connection first. Only checking whether the update server is reachable does <strong>not</strong> suffice here. In case that the update server does <strong>not</strong> respond, this could mean that our servers are currently experiencing problems, but it could also mean that your Internet connection is failing. In order to distinguish these cases, LameXP will validate the Internet connection prior to connecting to the update server. For this purpose, LameXP contains a rather long list of &quot;known&quot; hosts, taken mostly from <a href="http://www.alexa.com/topsites">Alexa's Top 500</a> list. In order to validate the Internet connection, LameXP will pick a <em>random</em> host from the list and check whether that host can be reached. This process will be repeated, until a certain minimum number of &quot;known&quot; hosts have been reached successfully.</p> <p><em>Note:</em> Before LameXP actually tries to download information from our update servers, it will check your internet connection first.

# Command-line Usage #
Additional **[command-line](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface) options** may be passed to LameXP when launching the application. You may do so, for example, by typing the complete command-line into the [*command prompt*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd.exe) or by creating a [*shortcut*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_shortcut) with the desired command-line options. The basic command-line syntax of LameXP is as follows: Each command-line option has to start with a ``--`` prefix. So if you intend to pass the option called "foo", then you actually need to type ``--foo``. Furthermore, while some command-line options are just *flags*, i.e. they can either be present or not (but that's it!), there also are command-line options that take an *argument*. The argument is *appended* directly to the option name to which it belongs to, but a ``=`` sign **must** to be inserted as a separator. If, for example, you wish to set the command-line option "foo" to an argument value of "bar", then the proper syntax is ``--foo=bar``. Sometimes your argument value may contain *whitespaces* though, in which case the *whole* command-line option (name + argument) **must** be enclosed with double quotes. For example, in order to set the option "foo" to a value of "C:\Some File.bar" (note the space character between "Some" and "File"), the proper syntax is ``"--foo=C:\Some File.bar"``. Last but not least, please note that the *same* command-line option may appear *multiple* times on the command-line &ndash; whether that actually makes any sense depends on the individual option though.
## Add Files and/or Folders ##
Command-line options for adding files and/or folders:
* ``--add=filename``
Adds the file specified by *filename* to the source files list. The *filename* should be a [fully-qualified](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_name#Filenames_and_paths) path. If you wish to add multiple files at once, you can simply include this option multiple times.
* ``--add-folder=directory``
Adds *all* supported files from the directory specified by *directory* to the source files list. The *directory* should be a [fully-qualified](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_name#Filenames_and_paths) path. Sub-directories are **not** considered.
* ``--add-recursiver=directory``
This option works just like the "add-folder" option, except that it works recursively, i.e. it *does* take into account sub-directories. Use this option with care, since a whole lot of files may be added.
### Examples ###
Here are some *examples* on how to use the above command-line options correctly:
* Add one file:
``LameXP.exe "--add=C:\Some Folder\Some File.mp3"``
* Add multiple files at once:
``LameXP.exe "--add=C:\Some Folder\File #1.mp3" "--add=C:\Some Folder\File #2.mp3" "--add=C:\Some Folder\File #3.mp3"``
* Add a whole directory:
``LameXP.exe "--add-folder=C:\Some Folder"``
## GUI Adjustment Options ##
Command-line options for adjusting the graphical user-interface:
* ``--huge-font``
Set the font scaling factor to 150%. Use this if you want *much* larger fonts.
* ``--big-font``
Set the font scaling factor to 125%. Use this if you want *somewhat* larger fonts.
* ``--small-font``
Set the font scaling factor to 87.5%. Use this if you want *somewhat* smaller fonts.
* ``--tiny-font``
Set the font scaling factor to 75%. Use this if you want *much* smaller fonts.
## Options for Debugging ##
Command-line options that are intended for testing and debugging:
* ``--console``
Enable the LameXP debug console. Use this option with "release" builds of LameXP, where the console is hidden by default.
* ``--no-console``
The opposite of the "console" option: Disable the LameXP debug console. Use this option with "pre-release" (beta) builds of LameXP, where the console is visible by default.
* ``--force-cpu-no-64bit``
Treat the CPU as if it did **not** support [64-Bit (x64)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64) applications, even when it actually does so.
* ``--force-cpu-no-sse``
Treat the CPU as if it did **not** support any [SSE](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions) extensions (SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSSE4, etc), even when it actually does so.
* ``--force-cpu-no-intel``
Treat the CPU as if it was a *non*-Intel processor, even when the vendor tag indicates an Intel processor.
* ``--ignore-compat-mode``
Do **not** check whether the application is running with "compatibility mode" enabled. It's still *not* recommended to run with compatibility mode enabled!
## Miscellaneous Options ##
Miscellaneous command-line options that may come in handy in certain situations:
* ``--kill``
Exit all running instances of LameXP.
* ``--force-kill``
Exit all running instances of LameXP as quickly as possible, even if that incurs data loss. Use with extreme care!
