External renderer command-line

The external renderer command-line syntax is far away from the encoder/decoder command-line syntax. I am wondering if they could become as similar as possible. E.g.:

  1. decoder: IVAS_dec.exe OutputConf Fs bitstream_file output_file while the renderer uses -i, -o, -if, -of, or -fs.

What about to folow the decoder syntax, e.g.:

IVAS_rend.exe [options] InputConf OutputConf Fs input_file output_file

  1. Trajectory file option is different: decoder -T vs. renderer -tf

  2. Renderer configuration option is different: decoder -render_config vs. renderer -rc

  3. What is the reason to define two alternatives for all command-line options, e.g -quiet and -q etc.?
