cannot use --parent argument

[manolo]

cmd.parent is used internally, it should be a private name like cmd._parent to allow usage of parent which should be a valid option, for instance in apps doing file-system operations.

There are LOTS of properties, including parent. This problem has a long history: #933

However, the good news is there is a solution now! Use .storeOptionsAsProperties(false), see:

An answer was provided, and no further activity in a month. Closing this as resolved.

Feel free to open a new issue if it comes up again, with new information and renewed interest.

Options are now stored safely by default in Commander 7.0.0.
