Hi,

You need to add `--no-default-preferences` after the image name.

pharo80 /Users/ducasse/Documents/Pharo/images/P8Indian/P8Indian.image
--no-default-preferences --list

Hi

I would like to write some scripts with Pharo.
Now I cannot find how to block the settings
because I have a crash in my settings


pharo80 /Users/ducasse/Documents/Pharo/images/P8Indian/P8Indian.image --list
pharo80 /Users/ducasse/Documents/Pharo/images/P8Indian/P8Indian.image —-help
pharo80 /Users/ducasse/Documents/Pharo/images/P8Indian/P8Indian.image -help

All of them crash because my settings are broken



doing the following does not help

pharo80 --help
Usage: /Users/ducasse/bin/Pharo/Pharo64Stable.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo [<option>...] [<imageName> [<argument>...]]
      /Users/ducasse/bin/Pharo/Pharo64Stable.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo [<option>...] -- [<argument>...]

Notes:
 <imageName> defaults to `Pharo.image'.
 If '--memory' or '-maxoldspace' are not specified then the heap will grow dynamically.
 <argument>s are ignored, but are processed by the Squeak image.
 The first <argument> normally names a Squeak `script' to execute.
 Precede <arguments> by `--' to use default image.
