The '-layout' option is supported since Feb. 1, https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/phoebus/pull/1747

I can confirm that it will print that warning because unfortunately that part of the code isn't currently aware of some other part actually handling the option.

So when I try that now, it "works" but there is that warning which should be removed.

And there's no warning when /path/to/example.memento is simply not valid, i.e. no such file.

So bottom line the error handling is terrible, but fundamentally it works when you have a current version of phoebus.
