brisyncd's Issues

Cannot dump template configuration file

Hi, I tried to start with the template configuration in your readme. Unfortunately, it won't accept a JSON with comments and failed to start, despite that brew still showed "Successfully started brisyncd". So I tried brisyncd config > /usr/local/etc/brisyncd.json to dump one from the tool, but it shows "command not found: brisyncd". I guess it's because it's not added to PATH. Then I used /usr/local/opt/brisyncd/sbin/brisyncd config > /usr/local/etc/brisyncd.json and it outputs "Error: Failed to parse config file [/usr/local/etc/brisyncd.json]". The tool seems to parse it before writing it. I have to let the tool print it to stdout and copy it to the JSON file by hand.

Also, I think you should describe more about the configuration file's format. I read the help information and I don't know if --min and --max are the same as "min" and "max" under "source" or "targets" in the configuration file. And I don't know how "min" and "max" of the source are mapped to the "min" and "max" of the target. I thought source.min -> target.min and source.max -> target.max, but it seems not. Currently I just leave out those under "source" and only use the target ones, assuming it means 0% on the target (external display) looks like target.min% on the source (built-in display) and 100% on the target (external display) looks like target.max% on the source. Did I interpret it right?
