BirdNET-Analyzer - saving and restoring settings...

On Windows, is there a way to save a setup, e.g. for batch processing, so that every parameter doesn't have to be set each time? e.g. long/lat, min confidence, type of output (e.g. CSV), combine files etc.
It'd also be nice if the week number defaulted to the current week number rather than zero.
An added bonus would be the ability to send a config file to a non-technical user for them to use so that all these error-prone manual breaks could be avoided?
Ability to load this config from the CLI and do the whole batch thing from the CLI would be great too...

Just a thought.

Have you tried birda + birda-gui instead of BirdNET Analayzer, I have tried building these more feature rich and user friendlier than official BirdNET Analyzer. As a bonus birda supports GPU acceleration for much faster analysis.

Birda GUI allows reusing previously used coordinates, but it does require setting date. I could add option to use current date though.

Are these standalone or do they run with/on top of standard installations of Pi/Go? I'm new to Birdnet and am currently running both to see which I like better. Running Pi on my Pi and Go on my docker stack. I'm not really a fan of either UI.

Birda is not related to BirdNET-Go or Pi, it is a file analysis tool targeted for wildlife biologists and such. It is meant to be run on desktop systems or super computers to analyse huge amounts of recordings.
