-shutup commandline in Gamma

this is what RabbitControl - wip - Forum is for.

this may be crucial in some projects or negligible in others. you’ll have to check this for your specific project.

note that it also has licensing implications: building and exporting an app that you run on multiple clients doesn’t cost extra. if though you want to use the convenience feature of live-patching/tweaking/debugging on all clients, this is what you need device licenses for. you can still export for the final deployment, but your production time then still will have to be covered by device licenses.

what has worked well for us in one case is using VL.PsTools from the server to run vvvv on the clients, but starting it from a shared network path on the server. then enable the “Auto reload documents” feature in settings to get an almost boygrouping-style experience by having clients auto-reload when you save a document on the server.

this spares you installing vvvv on all clients. but note that this doesn’t spare you the device licenses, since you’re still explicitly using the convenience feature of running the editor on the clients!


if it is really only about hiding the patch editor window via a commandline argument, there are ways of course. not built-in as of now, but you could use an Args node to read the commandline then reference System.Windows.Forms and use the OpenForms node → GetItem and then setvisible/setopacity… ie. roll your own idea of “shutup”.
