So according to the manual shouldn't -S and --state be synonyms?
We ran into this quite a while back-- it's a quirk of the command line
option parser argp. -S is the same, you just have to omit the space or
insert the =:
~ $ yoshimi -Sfoo.state
Yoshimi 1.5.8.1 is starting
Using /home/dbtx/foo.state
...
~ $ yoshimi -S=foo.state
Yoshimi 1.5.8.1 is starting
Using /home/dbtx/foo.state
...
~ $ yoshimi -S foo.state
Yoshimi 1.5.8.1 is starting
Invalid state file specified for restore
/home/dbtx/.config/yoshimi/yoshimi.state
...
~ $ yoshimi --state foo.state
Yoshimi 1.5.8.1 is starting
Invalid state file specified for restore
/home/dbtx/.config/yoshimi/yoshimi.state
...
~ $ yoshimi --state=foo.state

Yes it's somewhat unusual and yes the error message is less than
helpful. In my case, ~/.config/yoshimi/yoshimi.state doesn't exist, so
it is still correct... that's the one implied when you use -S or
--state by itself (i.e. followed by a space) which is the same as
saying "load the default state."
