Can laserboy be used in a batch mode?
« on: December 15, 2011, 01:43:30 am »
Hi,


Is it possible to use laserboy in batch mode - ie given a number of individual files could I get laserboy to process them in a batch (ie optimize or convert)?


Thanks,




Phil

Hmmmmmmm. At the moment there is no way to stack up a bunch of tasks and let LaserBoy go through them. What exactly is your project? What kind of files are you starting with and what do you want in the end?

I could stick an ASCII file reader in there to emulate key strokes. That would work! :)

Hi James,


It would either be a stack of dxf files or a stack of poorly optimised ILDA frames.


Thanks,


Phil

You can open a whole folder full of DXF files. They need to be inside of a named folder inside of the dxf folder inside of the LaserBoy folder! They will open as a frame-set in ASCII-alpha-numeric order.

At the moment, there is no way to open a whole folder at once of ILDA files. But you can open them one-after-another by appending each file to the frame-set that is already loaded in the memory of LaserBoy and get them all together as one big thing.

Once that is all loaded up, you can apply all kinds of point stripping, reorganizing and optimizing the the whole thing and save selections of frames out of that.

James.

Feel free to contact me on Skype! You can share a portion of your screen that has the LaserBoy app open in it and I can show you how to do stuff. I love to do that! :)
