The fids directory used to be the second non-option argument. Now it is a mandatory option argument


I finally got around to upgrading my automatic sync scripts from using 4.03 to 5.0, but I can't quite figure it out...

My mp3's live in /home/music/empeg/mp3s, and I want to generate the files to be rsynced to the empeg into /home/music/empegfids. When I run

mp3tofid --fids-directory /home/music/empegfids /home/music/empeg/mp3s

I get the fid files in /home/music/empegfids/drive0 and /home/music/empegfids/drive1, but the file fids are symbolic links referring to /home/music/empeg/mp3s. I understand playlists consist of symbolic links, but shouldn't the original files end up in the fids directory at least once?
