Switching between console and GUI on startup

[wysota]

How about:

#include <QApplication>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
  bool gui = true;
  for(int i=1; i<argc; i++)
    if(!strcmp(argv[i], "--console")){
      gui = false;
      break;
    }
  QApplication app(argc, argv, gui);
  //...
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  bool gui = true;
  for(int i=1; i<argc; i++)
    if(!strcmp(argv[i], "--console")){
      gui = false;
      break;
    }
  QApplication app(argc, argv, gui);
  //...
  return app.exec();
}

I feel so dumb now ... Big RTFM for me lol

I may have felt dumb but it's still not working as expected, application don't output to console but is writing the file. So my question remains ...

IMO the problem might be in windows' subsystems. You are using win32 subsystem now, but console applications use different one. You should be able to find some info about this in MSDN (most likely it's a matter of setting right linker flags).
