Package: blender Version: 2.42a-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
I've lost some time recently when trying to figure out whether it was possible to specify a destination location when rendering from the command line because the manpage didn't mention the -o option. I used vimdiff on both help2man output and the previous manpage to provide you with an updated manpage. Comments (and inclusion) welcome. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
