[Submission] /for console slash-command [SUBMITTED]

[Midgardsormr]

Would someone be using /for in that fashion, though? I'd think that if someone were idiot-proofing a pipeline they wouldn't rely on the user grokking a console slash command.

Yeah but. no but, yeah but...

I *really* love that slash command thingy for doing Q&D things.
When you know what you (have to) do, all is good.

For deploying stuff to the beginners in the team I feel intrigued to link to a recent post of myself...

Hi Tom,


Apologies for the delay, I wanted to get to this sooner, but work got in the way. Argh, work.

Your submission is stellar, I just wanted to suggest to use HTML encoded symbols for characters like [ and ] in your Atom description, as described here

One other small thing I noticed is that your .zip file contained those lovely additional files that Macs put everywhere... I don't even know if that is possible to avoid (I have no Mac )

I've done the adjustments for you (for all potential submitters - do not worry, we're making sure this will be a very painless process for everyone) and attached them to this post. If you're good with them, we'll deploy shortly!

Thanks!

The update to version 1.1 is now available through Reactor!

Please go ahead and install/update everyone!

[tberakis]

Great, thanks for doing that!

Hi Tom,

Is it possible to use /for to adjust nested inputs like Clip1.OpenEXRFormat.RedName?

[danell]

I just hit the same wall as SecondMan here and needed to change some nested inputs. Any progress in this?
Great tool anyway!

[Movalex]

now it should work:

/for all Loader set Clip1.OpenEXRFormat.RedName to 'B'
/for all Fuse.FractalNoise set c_noise_itt to 1

[SecondMan]

And update is submitted - please update!

[Kristof]

Picked this up only now and loving it! Could it be that a tooltype with a space like "Wireless Link" isn't supported?

/for all Wireless Link select

[SecondMan]

Hm. I think another good question is why there is a space in it at all? Plus Fusion collapses the space in the UI, so that's not very discoverable either.

I'll fix it in the Fuse.

[SecondMan]

Actually, that's not it. /for doesn't support Fuses.

[Kristof]

Damn, you're right! I had a look at the /for lua code but I realize I would need some time to really understand what is going on before I would be able to modify it. I would love to expand it with a rename feature as I don't think that rename+ is capable of doing that; batch renaming, that is.

[Kristof]

Also tried it with FL DoF which is a plugin with the name "FL Depth Of Field". Couldn't get it to make a selection of those tools.

[Movalex]

@Kristof to toggle fuses and tools you'll need a proper tool name. I even created this small tool script, that prints tool name in console. Very handy with For Slash usage.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (GetToolName.py)

1. # tool script to get tool's ID. Useful if you do expressions
2. # or use a Reactor 'Slash For' script a lot
3. # and you don't want to keep in memory, that Resize tool is actually a 'BetterResize',
4. # and MaskPaint is actually a 'PaintMask'.
5. # Tool ID will be copied to the buffer on MacOS with pbcopy command.
6. # To add pbcopy on linux use these instructions: https://www.ostechnix.com/how-to-use-pbcopy-and-pbpaste-commands-on-linux/
7.  
8. import os
9. import platform
10.  
11. tool_name = tool.ID
12.  
13. if platform.system() in ["Darwin", "Linux"]:
14.     os.system("echo '{}' | tr -d '\n' | pbcopy".format(tool_name))
15.  
16. print(tool_name)

So to select all WirelesLink or FL nodes you need to

/for all ofx.com.frischluft.openFX.DepthOfField select
/for all Fuse.Wireless select
