Pre-select image from command line

See original GitHub issue
  • Etcher version: 1.5.24, installed via .deb package from Github releases
  • Operating system and architecture: Debian 9, amd64
  • Image flashed: custom buildroot image for Raspberry
  • Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? irrelevant

Is it possible to pass the path to an image on the command line? This could boost my productivity a lot 😃

Just running

$ balena-etcher-electron /path/to/buildroot/output/images/sdcard.img

didn’t yield the expected result; the GUI still asked me to select an image.

(If you don’t plan on implementing this yourselves: will you accept a PR implementing this?)

Side note

I also expected

$ balena-etcher-electron --help

to print something meaningful. Instead the GUI just popped up.
