[CLI] Command-line Arguments, API Needed

Command line arguments or/and API needed, to automate the workflow using scripts.
It would be nice to launch the Gigapixel from the script with arguments such as a folder with source images and to close it after processing is finished (let it use default settings for everything else, at least). We miss this functionality very much.

this is a great idea and something that has been brought up to our product team before.

it is on the list of other features to add to Gigapixel but CLI at the moment will not be in any immediate releases as far as i can tell.

if we continue to see a huge amount of upvotes for it, this may change.

While upvotes can be a helpful way to gauge interest, it’s important to keep in mind that not everyone who is interested in this topic may be active on this particular forum.

I have another idea that could be implemented with relatively little effort: a ‘waiting folder’ mode. In this mode, Gigapixel would monitor specified locations for new files and automatically begin processing them using the current settings. This would eliminate the need for user intervention and significantly speed up the workflow by reducing the time gap between image generation and upscaling. What are your thoughts on this?

Noted. Thanks for this idea as well. I can certainly run this by our dev team to see what they say.

Thank you, it would be very nice =)

from a technical view it seems doable but from a design perspective it would need some more thought.

thank you for asking!

You already have the option ‘quick save’ in Gigapixel, and it looks like a part of future ‘waiting folder’ design (you just press [quick save] button once, and then it process the files from a list with current settings without asking any question). It remains to develop a continuous watchdog function and a mechanism for passing file lists to processing.

Please do not let perfection be the enemy of good. If you can get an mvp out that doesn’t look pretty that will be amazing. I have been asking for this feature for more than 6 months.

Be sure to check out our BETA BUILD v7.3.05b to test out CLI

We’d love your feedback!

There is no quick export option on Gigapixel right now, I’ve asked for it to be added, please vote for it:

OMG! I just realized that all email messages from Gigapixel ended up in the spam folder. And I just now saw that you made a CLI. Unfortunately, the provided link doesn’t work for me.

Hi starush!

Sorry that the link did not work - you’ll need to request access to join our Gigapixel Beta Testing Group in order to test the CLI out.

You can use this link here to apply. Please follow the instructions provided in the link to make sure your approval gets cleared.

Thank you!

OMG. Unfortunately, I forgot that my license is over for the moment. Maybe next month or something like this. Do you have any plans about discounts?

Hi starush!
Unfortunately I’m not sure of any discounts that will be coming soon but please continue to check back regularly!

I know our team just had sales for Gigapixel and Photo AI a few months ago so there’s always a chance another one could be around the corner.

We have officially released CLI function for version 7.3.0 in the Gigapixel PRO version.

Please reach out via enterprise@topazlabs.com if you’d like to get this accessibility to use.

Thank you so much for putting your ideas out here on our forum!

Enterprize license is extremely expensive for me. It was really unexpected.

Im looking for some information when Gigapixel will have support for CLI commands. So images are upscaled with specific settings from CMD also nice feature woul be to export current gigapixel output setings as CLI command to make this easier

:point_down:

Do you want me to pay $1999 just to use the CLI… :joy: when this feature is available at no additional cost in Photo AI? Truly great treatment of customers who paid for all the products anyway…

$1999 just to use CLI? :rofl: no thanks. I might have paid a little extra for it, but $2k is a huge barrier to entry. I will continue to manually upscale my images thanks.
