Automating a batch job in UVTools/CMD

[ninjaDave333]

hi,
i would like to batch process all files in a specific folder to run this workflow:

1. open file
2. analyze file
3. auto repair using defaults
4. save file

i tried looking at the repo, and scripting, but couldn't find any example.
since i dont read C# too good i might have missed something.

any ideas ?

thanks.

This is possible with UVtoolsCmd run and a batch script. You can iterate files under a folder and pass each file with UVtoolsCmd.
However, I don't recommend this, most of issues will not have a proper fix and you will be clueless about potential issues.

PS C:\Users\tiago> UVtoolsCmd run

Description:
  Run operations, suggestions and/or scripts

Usage:
  UVtoolsCmd run [<input-file> [<classes/files>...]] [options]

Arguments:
  <input-file>     Input file to open and read
  <classes/files>  Operations, suggestions and script class/files(.uvtop, .uvtsu .cs, .csx) to run

Options:
  -p, --property <property=value>  Set a property with a new value (Compatible with operations only)
  -o, --output <output>            Output file to save
  --partial-mode                   Fast load the file in partial mode
  -?, -h, --help                   Show help and usage information

hi, my current workflow is: 1. slicing with lychee 2. scan and auto fix with uvtools 3. manually fix with pixel editor leftover islands. i want to batch automate step 2, so i can then manually open each file and pixel edit the remaining problems. i just couldn't figure the c script to do step 2. i can handle all the rest TERASKY David Gidony, Solution Architect +972-52-2808442 ***@***.******@***.***> www.terasky.com<http://www.terasky.com/> <https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> This email was sent from the android app.

You don't need a C# script, you can use windows batch or linux bash, depending on which system you use.
A C# script will have the only advantage of running in top of UVtools, which will give you UI capabilities: ex: Choose a folder with system open dialog. I still recommend UVtoolsCmd with a simple batch script which can also prompt for folder path and may allow drag and drop folders in top of it

That is what i intended to do, but i can’t find the commands list under RUN. Where can i get the commands for uvtoolscli to run the assessment, repair and save, couldn’t find any reference in the docs and repo...

I gave you the syntax here
When you type a command it will give you the syntax and/or error for it.

UVtoolsCmd run [<input-file> [<classes/files>...]] [options]

1. First argument is your input file to be repaired
2. Second argument is the class/file. You can build this out of terminal with lot of set properties. However I recommend you to export your repair dialog from UVtools to .uvtop... Go to UVtools -> Repair dialog -> Configure the dialog as you want (Make sure first check is marked to always redetect) -> Click on bottom left button (3 horizontal bars) -> Export settings -> Save to your location -> .uvtop file generated.

Then you have everything to run: UVtoolsCmd run file.ctb RepairLayers.uvtop
It will do the repairs and save file, if you want to not replace the file, use the -o repaired_file.ctb

Anytime you want to change your configuration you can open and tune your RepairLayers.uvtop by hand. Or have multiple profiles...

Great, exactly what i was looking for. Its a new approach for me to export the UI dialog to a file, but looks cool, ill keep playing with it. Thank you very much for the support.
