Command Line

BeatSaberKeeper has a few command line parameters that influence how the application runs.

Overview

BeatSaberKeeper_Reborn.exe
    [--help]
    [--version]
    [-w|--startup-window <App>]
    [--nolog]
    [-d|--data-dir <Directory>]

Parameter	Default	Description
--help	-	Shows the command line help
--version	-	Shows the currently installed version
-w --startup-window	Default	Starts BSK with a specific window opened; see below
--nolog	-	If specified, doesn’t create a log file on disk
-d --data-dir	App Directory	If specified, changes the directory where BSK stores data

-w / --startup-window

The following startup windows exist and can be specified:

• Default: Opens the standard window listing stored archives.
• Downloader: Opens the BSK Downloader to download older versions from Steam
• SongExplorer: Opens the BSK Song Explorer to play or delete custom levels

-d / --data-dir

By default, BSK will store all its data in the same directory as the executable in a subfolder called .bsk. If you want to store your data somewhere else (for example in a personal folder if you share your VR-PC with someone else) you can specify --data-dir. BSK will then create a .bsk directory in the specified directory.

Pro Tip: Create a (Desktop) Shortcut to always start BSK with this data directory. To do this, drag the executable with the right mouse button to your desktop (or any other folder you want) and select “Create shortcuts here”.

Then right click on the new shortcut and select “Properties”, go to the “Shortcut” tab and add the command line argument and the folder in the field “Target” like this:

--data-dir "Your Directory"
