The `-s` / `--show` flag does not open a settings page. Per the owncloud/client v7.1.0 source (src/gui/main.cpp), it starts the Desktop App with the main window visible, or brings an already-running instance to the front. By default the client launches in the background. Closes #722 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Müller <1005065+DeepDiver1975@users.noreply.github.com>

Verdict: Approve. Verified the new wording against upstream owncloud/client at tag v7.1.0.
src/gui/main.cpp:123-125defines the option as{{"s"},{"show"}}with help text: "Start with the main window visible, or if it is already running, bring it to the front. By default, the client launches in the background." The PR's new description matches this verbatim, and documenting the--showlong form is a nice addition.- The old "forces the settings page to be displayed on startup" wording was inaccurate — there is no settings-page behavior tied to this flag's documented purpose. (For full transparency:
-sdoes internally also route throughslotShowSettings()and shares a hidden legacy--showsettingsalias, but the option's own canonical help text is the main-window behavior, which is what end-user docs should reflect.) - Scope docs-only (+1/-1); no broken AsciiDoc.
Pair consistency: Paired with #731 (7.1); identical change, baseRefName master. Consistent.
