 \minisec{Command line option \usertext{---nologo}}
 This command line argument hides the splash screen when you start QGIS.
 
+\minisec{Command line option \usertext{---noplugins}}
+If you have trouble at startup with plugins, you can avoid loading them at startup. They will still be available in Plugins Manager afterwards.
+
+\minisec{Command line option \usertext{---optionspath}}
+You can have multiple configurations and decide which one to use when starting QGIS using this option. See \ref{subsec:gui_options} to check where does the operating system save the settings files. Presently there is no way to specify in which file where to write the settings, therefore you can create a copy of the original settings file and rename it.
+
+\minisec{Command line option \usertext{---configpath}}
+This option is similar to the one above, but furthermore overrides the default path (~/.qgis) for user configuration and forces QSettings to use this directory, too. This allows users to e.g. carry QGIS installation on a flash drive together with all plugins and settings
