Hi,
I want some way to make mpv open and stay there so that I can drag and drop files. I know about --keep-open=yes but it is just to keeping it open after playback. Can anyone suggest an argument that may do this.

Thanks in advance

@Abhiram Shibu try this → mpv --player-operation-mode=pseudo-gui
