Has anyone had any success using the Pre/Post_Frame_Commands to send an
osascript?
I currently use the Pre/Post_Frame_Commands to shell out and create a file
that says "working" or "done". I have an applescript checking this file
periodically so that when the frame is done rendering, the script requests
another frame number and starts it rendering. I thought a simpler solution
might be to just run an osascript command that changes an applescript
"property" (thus avoiding reading/writing to a file). However, I can't
seem to get the Pre/Post_Frame_Commands to send even the simplest script.
For example, both of the following don't do anything:
Pre_Frame_Command=osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" ' -e 'display
dialog "hello"' -e 'end tell'
Pre_Frame_Command=../../usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" ' -e
'display dialog "hello"' -e 'end tell'
(I'm just guessing that the path to the command might have something to do
with it.)
I can copy the line to a terminal window and it runs fine. It just won't
work using the Pre/Post_Frame_Commands.
Lastly, using All_File=true I have checked for error messages but all I get
is the following:
0:00:00 Performing pre-frame shell-out command
Anyway, if anyone has gotten something like this to work and knows what I am
doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance -
