Vvvvc.exe feeback

vvvv gamma feature

The documentation of --asset-behavior in the gray book seems to be incorrect. It says valid arguments are RelativeToDocument and RelativeToOutput whereas vvvvc.exe --help lists PointToOriginal, PointToOutput, PointToOutputAndCopy and and doesn’t like the other two.

Feature Requests:

  • can you add some output for the current progress akin to the progress bar of Exporter UI? I’d like to build a “batch exporter” and having a progress would really help.
  • add another parameter --props to be able to point to a props file that doesn’t have to reside besides the VL file and can be arbitrarily named.

Maybe add a hint to the --output-directory documentation that it will overwrite the location defined in the props file. IIRC this it not the case for the Exporter UI.

can you elaborate on this a bit? how would you like the progress to look like?

Basically the progress that is shown in the Exporter UI, so a value between 0-100?

5

is that also related to the idea of the batch exporter? if so or not, please give us a bit more of your thinking behind those requests.

It’s related to the batch export. But in general I’d prefer to be able to choose where those files are located. Currently working on a project for example which is basically a mono repo with multiple subprojects that are interdependend. I’d like to have all those props files to live in one folder “props”. Another idea I had is to be able to reuse a props file for different projects.
