Advanced options are now: flexible picto sheets, picto creator, some buttons in the picto sheet editor, pictoboard, importing symbol set packages, translation dialog, database synchronization, many settings options and all options to send by email.

The command line options:

-notips do not show tip of the day
-nevercheck do not check for updates
-embeginner start in beginner mode
-emadvanced start in advanced mode
-lang_en use English as language
-lang_fr use French as language
-lang_de use German as language
-lang_da use Danish as language
-lang_es use Spanish as language
-lang_nl use Dutch as language
-symlang_en use English as symbol language
-symlang_fr use French as symbol language
-symlang_de use German as symbol language
-symlang_da use Danish as symbol language
-symlang_es use Spanish as symbol language
-symlang_nl use Dutch as symbol language

Changing the configuration file to set the png folder can be done by adding:

[_global_]
PictoDir=

When those lines are used with a valid path then that folder will be used to look for the symbols. This overrides the settings in the database.
