Bug Description
This is a general feature request, so it doesn't apply to any specific version of Ubuntu/Linux.
I wanted to find out the version on OpenShot through command line, so I punched in "openshot --version", but it looked like it was starting up instead of just giving a one-line output of its version. Though it does state its version during startup in its terminal output, but it would be nice if it would only show the version and not try to start up. Also, it seems that there's no "--help" either, so I guess that means there's no command line interface whatsoever.
Thanks in advance!

The only command line option is the following (from the manual):
openshot [filename]
The optional [filename] parameter can be either an audio or video file, or an OpenShot project file (*.osp). Multiple files can also be specified (with spaces between each filename), and all files will be imported into a single instance of OpenShot.
In general, we have not bothered too much with the command line as we have seen limited value, seeing as it's a video editor.
But if someone wants to submit a patch then we'd have a look at it.
