Command line on Mac

[tedlasai]

I see that helicon focus command line can be done on Windows. But I don't see a way for it to be done on mac? Is this supported?

[Catherine]

Yes, it's supported and works exactly the same. Use the "open" command with the "--args ..." argument or something like that, check "man open".

[tedlasai]

open /Applications/HeliconFocus.app/ --args /Users/sai/Documents/Data/

I am doing something like this where Data is the folder containing my stack... Its not working. Any help?

[Catherine]

You forgot the "-silent" option which activates the command line mode. So:
open /Applications/HeliconFocus.app/ --args -silent /Users/sai/Documents/Data/

Ahh I got it to work! Thanks. Also is there a argument to output the layers (what the Export layers button would do).

Thanks

[Catherine]

No, sorry, there is no such option. You could save your automated stacks as projects, and then load these projects in the regular interface and export the layers.

[tedlasai]

Then, is there any way to batch process layers?

[Catherine]

What do you mean by that?

[tedlasai]

I mean I have many focal stacks and I would like to output the aligned layers for every single focal stack. Using something like the batch process mode that gives me output all in focus images.

[Catherine]

I understand, but like I said, there is currently no such function, sorry. I'll add it to the to-do list.
