dorado basecaller has duplicate command line flag -o

[lucast122]

Issue Report

Please describe the issue:

dorado basecaller uses the flag -o twice once for output folder and once for overlap. Output folder can only be defined using --output-dir though.

Please provide a clear and concise description of the issue you are seeing and the result you expect.

[2024-09-25 15:03:12.156] [error] Failed to parse 'a' as decimal integer: pattern 'a' not found
I guess it tries to convert the string to a number as it thinks it gets the overlap.
