Octoprint.exe ARG's

Get Help

Under Windows (and other OS's) what are the command line arguements for Octoprint.exe?

I'm specifically looking to move the Octoprint "Settings Folder" from %APPDATA%/OctoPrint to D:\OctoPrint_Data.

I've been only able to find under the config.yaml document the following:

If not specified via the command line, the main configuration file config.yaml for OctoPrint is expected in its settings folder, which unless defined differently via the command line is located at ~/.octoprint on Linux, at %APPDATA%/OctoPrint on Windows and at ~/Library/Application Support/OctoPrint on MacOS.

Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.
