Bug#972343: ITP: wxedid -- Graphical editor for monitor resolution and timing data (EDID)

[tomazzi <tomazzi@wp.pl>]

Hi Felix,

I've just noticed that there's a bug in the wxedid.1 manpage - the 
program allows to pass the file path to be opened as an cmd line 
argument, and there's an -t|--text option which tells that the file is 
in text format. Without this option, wxedid assumes that the file 
contains binary EDID data.

See wxEDID_App.cpp -> wxEDID_App::CmdLineArgs().

Best Regards.
